	A new shape for semiconductor nanocrystals?tetrapods, rather than simple spheres, rods and disks?could double the efficiency of "plastic" solar cells, according to Paul Alivisatos, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley. Alivisatos claimed tetrapod-based solar cells promise to convert twice as much incident light into electricity, thus improving chemical sensors, biomedicine and optoelectronic devices, as well as serving as strengthening additives to plastic composites.
