    Carbon nanotube films enable method to recycle waste heat. Engineers have shown how their carbon nanotube films can be used to create a device to recycle waste heat. The device could enhance solar cell output and increase the efficiency of industrial waste-heat recovery.

    The ever-more-humble carbon nanotube may be just the device to make solar panels – and anything else that loses energy through heat – far more efficient.

    Rice University scientists are designing arrays of aligned single-wall carbon nanotubes to channel mi...
