Query: when does something once considered cheap, mundane, black and fairly
toxic become all-important to society, if not the ultimate answer to our
national survival?
BTW - this has nothing at all to do with last night's debate ...
If there is one defining feature of this particular

Jones wrote about graphene as an alternative to the transparent indium tin
oxide solar cell. It looks promising but on page two of the article there
was this dampener...
They also need to improve the conductivity of their film: indium tin oxide
is still hundreds of times more conductive.
Nick,
Yes, this low efficiency is undoubtedly true for now.
But here is the (possible) paradigm shift, and I should have tried to explain
my enthusiasm as involving a paradigm shift rather than as a step-wise
improvement.
Even if the efficiency remains far less than for a dedicated solar

with this kind of shift in economics, that lower efficiency is not the real

I wasn't being negative. In fact, for a long time I have thought that, apart
from the research value, it is
