With nanowires working as small solar radiation-collecting antennas, a new type of solar cell was sent into space a few days ago. By using three different materials they are a better match for the solar spectrum compared with today’s silicon solar cells. As the nanowires are light and require little material per unit of area, they are now to be installed for tests on satellites, which are powered
