| Abstract | Professor Paul Alivisatos talks about the Helios Project for the 'Science at the Theater' series at the Berkeley Repertory Theater in Berkeley, California on May 14, 2007. He discusses how Helios Project researchers will use nanotechnology in the efficient capture of sunlight and its conversion to electricity to drive economical fuel production processes. The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s Helios Project concentrates on renewable fuels, such as biofuels, and solar technologies, including a new generation of solar photovoltaic cells and the conversion of electricity into chemical storage to meet future demand. |
