The GeS flower holds promise for next-generation energy storage devices and solar cells . Creating these GeS nanoflowers is exciting because it gives us a huge surface area in a small amount of space , 8221 says Dr . Linyou Cao , an assistant professor of materials science and engineering at NC State and co-author of a paper on the
