Som Mitra, Ph.D., professor of chemistry and environmental science at New Jersey Institute of Technology, is experimenting with polymers that when dissolved in a solvent become like a paint, and thus can be used as a coating. Solar cells can be inexpensively...
Developing organic solar cells from polymers is a cheap and potentially simple alternative energy. New Jersey Institute of Technology's Dr. Somenath Mitra has developed solar cells that use a carbon nanotube complex. Nanotubes are 50,000 times smaller...
