The sludge is full of precious nanofibres

From a residual material that resembles soggy paper it is possible to produce desirable nanofibres. At Domsjo factories, 1000 tons per annum now be the starting material for a brand new product. Nano Fibers produced from sludge waste. It could become a new gold mine for producers of cellulose. Behind the method is a researcher at Lulea University of Technology.

Bundles of nanotubes boosts solar cells

When a photon hits the stack of carbon nanotubes generated by an electron-pairs of holes. The electron and hole are separated at the interface between carbon nanotubes in bundles. Both steps are essential for power to be generated. Photo: J. Crochet, Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Bundles of nanotubes does the trick for the efficiency of thin film solar cells. The claim U.S. researchers. The goal is photovoltaics of graphene and carbon nanotubes.
