Nanotechnology boosts solar cells performance
Physicists from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) have improved the performance of solar cells by 60 percent. And they obtained this spectacular result by using a very simple trick. They’ve coated the solar cells with a film of 1-nanometer thick silicon fluorescing nanoparticles. The researchers also said that this process could be easily incorporated into the manufacturing process of solar cells with very little additional cost.

As Biofuel, Miscanthus Uses Less Land Than Corn
Miscanthus outperforms current biofuels sources — by a lot, say University of Illinois researchers.
Using the giant perennial grass as a feedstock for ethanol production in the U.S. could significantly reduce the acreage dedicated to biofuels while meeting government biofuels production goals, the researchers report.
Using corn or switchgrass to produce enough ethanol to offset 20% of gasoline use — a current White House goal — would take 25% of current U.S. cropland out of food production, according to the report. Getting the same amount of ethanol from miscanthus would require only 9.3% of current agricultural acreage. …
