The new device builds upon earlier work in plasmon lasers by Zhang's lab that compensated for this light leakage by using reflectors to bounce the surface plasmons back and forth inside the sensor similar to the way sound waves are reflected across the room

However, nanotechnology scientist and professor Jayan Thomas and his Ph d. student Zenan Yu have developed a way to both transmit and store electricity in a single lightweight copper wire.
So they had to figure out a way to create a second electrode. They did it-this by adding a very thin plastic sheet around the whiskers
The finding paves the way for the use of these materials in solar fuel generators. For the better part of a half century these materials have been considered off the table for this kind of use says Nate Lewis the George L.
