One potential application of molecular nanotechnology is the integration of molecular electronic function with advanced silicon technology. One step in this process is the tethering of individual molecules at specific locations on silicon surfaces. This paper reports the fabrication of arrays of individual organic molecules on H-passivated Si(100) surfaces patterned with an ultra-high vacuum scanning tunneling microscope (UHV STM).'

Researchers at Harvard University have made solar cells that are a small fraction of the width of a human hair. The cells, each made from a single nanowire just 300 nanometers wide, could be useful for powering tiny sensors or robots for environmental monitoring or military applications. What\'s more, the basic design of the solar cells could be useful in large-scale power production, potentially lowering the cost of generating electricity from the sun. '

Cool Earth Solar has taken a radical approach to building a solar-power plant using a technique called concentrated solar photovoltaics, in which light is magnified on to solar cells to maximize electricity output. It plans to manufacture plastic balloons, which will be suspended on metal and wire structures. These round balloons reflect light on to a solar cell to generate electricity. Because its design uses relatively cheap and readily available components, these solar concentrators can generate electricity at a cost comparable to that of natural-gas plants.
