University of Southern California (USC) scientists have developed a method to produce stable, low-cost solar cells from nanocrystals. These cells can be printed or painted onto surfaces as they are in the form of a liquid ink. These solar nanocrystals can float in a liquid solution and measure around 4 nm.
