    Harvesting energy from the sun

    February 25, 2013 – 5:00 pm
  • UC Santa Barbara scientists develop a whole new way of harvesting energy from the sun - A new method of harvesting the sun's energy is emerging, thanks to scientists at UC Santa Barbara's departments of chemistry, chemical engineering, and materials. Though still in its infancy, the research promises to convert sunlight into energy using a process based on metals that are more robust than many of the semiconductors used in conventional methods. The researchers' findings are published in the latest issue of the journal Nature Nanotechnology.
