Scientists at USC have developed a potential pathway to cheap‚ stable solar cells made from nanocrystals so small they can exist as a liquid ink and be painted or printed onto clear surfaces. The solar nanocrystals are about four nanometers in size — meaning you could fit more than 250‚000‚000‚000 on the head of a pin — and float them in a liquid solution. ’Like you print a newspaper‚ you can print solar cells‚’ said Richard L.
