The new design increases the number of electrons that make it from the light-absorbing polymer to an electrode.<img src="http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/291798868" height="1" width="1" /></p> http://science-nature.marc8.com/nanowires-may-boost-solar-cell-efficiency-engineers-say#comments Top stories electrical engineers electrode number of electrons solar cell efficiency thin film solar cells http://science-nature.marc8.com/crss/node/4683 Fri, 16 May 2008 15:15:15 -0500 admin 4683 at http://science-nature.marc8.com http://science-nature.marc8.com/new-3-d-camera-will-have-12-616-lenses <p>Electrical engineers are developing an on-chip imaging sensor with small pixels and 12,616 mini-optic lenses that are created as part of the semiconductor manufacturing process. Used in a digital camera, these lenses will record overlapping views of the scene, creating an electronic "depth map" as well as a photograph. Downloaded to a computer, the map can be used in many ways. The camera technology produces a "depth map" of a scene. The possible uses range from facial recognition to 'in vivo' biological imaging.</p> <p><a href="http://science-nature.marc8.com/new-3-d-camera-will-have-12-616-lenses">read more</a></p> http://science-nature.marc8.com/new-3-d-camera-will-have-12-616-lenses#comments Top stories biological imaging camera technology d camera electrical engineers semiconductor manufacturing process http://science-nature.marc8.com/crss/node/2283 Sat, 22 Mar 2008 08:00:00 -0500 admin 2283 at http://science-nature.marc8.com
