Carbon 60 development could reduce price of solar cells material

Carbon 60 a stable molecule used in solar cells systems A heating system so powerful it gave its creator a sunburn from three metres away is being developed by a New Brunswick engineering professor as a method to sharply reduce the costs of making the carbon used in some solar cells. Felipe Chibante says his […]
