SOUTHAMPTON, UK – The feed-in tariffs for renewable energy recently introduced by the government heightened interest at the sixth Photovoltaic Science Application and Technology Conference (PVSAT-6), hosted by the University of Southampton’s School of Electronics and Computer Science in late March. Event organizer professor Darren M. Bagnall, a member of the school’s Nano Research Group, said: “With householders alone, the feed-in tariffs provide an exciting opportunity for PV that we believe will have a big and lasting impact in the UK.” Under the scheme, a subsidy will be...Read full article

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    nanotechnology
    The use of atoms, molecules and molecular-scale structures to enhance existing technology and develop new materials and devices. The goal of this technology is to manipulate atomic and molecular particles to create devices that are thousands of times smaller and faster than those of the current microtechnologies.
