Down to the wire: Inexpensive technique for making high quality nanowire solar cells Solar or photovoltaic cells represent one of the best possible technologies for providing an absolutely clean and virtually inexhaustible source of energy to power our civilization. However, for this dream to be realized, solar cells need to be made from inexpensive elements using low-cost, less energy-intensive processing chemistry, and they need to efficiently and cost-competitively convert sunlight into electricity. A team of researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has now demonstrated two out of three of these requirements with a promising start on the third. Peidong Yang, a chemist with Berkeley Lab's Materials Sciences Division, led the development of a solution-based technique for fabricating core/shell nanowire solar cells using the semiconductors cadmium sulfide for the core and copper sulfide for the shell. This research was supported by the DOE Office of Science.

Industry and globalisation Short address for this page:www.oecd.org/sti/shipbuilding Events | Reports | Contact The OECD Council Working Party on Shipbuilding The OECD Council Working Party on Shipbuilding (WP6) seeks to progressively establish normal competitive conditions in the industry. It encourages transparency through data collection and analysis, and seeks to expand policy dialogue with non-OECD economies that have significant shipbuilding industries. The Working Party on Shipbuilding is the only international body that can influence and guide government policies by identifying and, where possible, eliminating factors that distort the shipbuilding market. The bringing about of normal competitive conditions in the shipbuilding industry remains the WP's principal priority. The Working Party is chaired by Ambassador Tore Eriksen, Permanent Representative of Norway to the OECD. What does the Working Party on Shipbuilding do? What is the relevance of the Working Party to non-OECD economies and industry? Contact
