31st August 2010

Scientists have decided to introduce innovative and different kind of crystal, which will grow in the space station and will be used in solar cells, by the year of 2013. According to them, it is the vacuum condition in space, which helps in improving the thin film crystal's quality. Resultantly, such qualities are given to them, which cannot be achieved on Earth. This technique is known as Molecular Beam Epitaxy. It would really help in improving electronics, especially in terms of increasing the efficiency of solar cells up to 60%.

The scientists, who are working on this project, have given it the name of an industrial evolution. Professor Alex Ignatiev from the University of Houston in Texas has said in an interview that the unique and different kind of vacuum environment of space helps in moving ahead, in terms of high speed transistors, solar cells, high power transistors, energy and computers. And according to him all these areas would get an opportunity of getting an advancement and benefit from material, which are used in space.

He also said that these kinds of crystals, which are going to be produced in a space vacuum lab, are known as ultra-thin semiconductor films. The space lab would spin above the planet Earth.
