The process involves using carbon nanotubes as an electron conductor. Nanotubes, a molecular configuration of carbon in a cylindrical shape, are an estimated 50,000 times smaller that a human hair but have properties ideal for collecting solar energy. Size for size, they are a better conductor than copper.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.newbuilder.co.uk/news/NewsFullStory.asp?ID=2109">"We foresee a great deal of interest in our work because solar cells can be inexpensively printed or simply painted on exterior building walls and/or roof tops.
