Printed silicon nanocrystals for circuits and solar cells

Printed silicon covered with chlorine atoms may be a low cost solution for computer chips and solar cells imbedded into roofing shingles.

A plasma reactor is used to produce these chlorine covered silicon nanocrystals printed on a circuit.
Uwe Kortshagen, a professor of mechanical engineering at the U of Minnesota is working on a patent pending process to produce low cost, highly durable and printable circuits made out of silicon and chlorine.  - U of MN News.
