> (Phys.org)—A team of scientists at Royal Melbourne Institute of
> Technology in Australia has announced the development of a
> nanostructure material made of what they are calling nanocones—it is
> a type of nanomaterial that can be added to boost the efficiency of
> photovoltaics by increasing their light absorbing abilities. In their
> paper published in the journal Science Advances, the team describes
> the new material, how it works, and their hopes for its use in a wide
> variety of photovoltaic applications.
>
> The new cone structured material's positive attributes come about due
> to an ultrahigh refractive index
