Materials that can revolutionize how light is harnessed for solar energy
19 August, 2019
Science Daily
Scientists have designed organic molecules capable of generating two excitons per photon of light, a process called singlet fission. The excitons can live for much longer than those generated from their inorganic counterparts, which leads to an amplification of electricity generated per photon that is ...
Organic dye in zinc oxide interlayer stabilizes and boosts the performance of organic solar cells

An innovative way to pattern metals could make the next generation of solar panels more sustainable and cheaper.
Key factors in how some algae harness solar energy
13 August, 2019
Science Daily
Scientists have discovered how diatoms -- a type of alga that produce 20 percent of the Earth's oxygen -- harness solar energy for photosynthesis. The discovery could help lead to more efficient and affordable algae-based biofuels and combat climate change from fossil fuel burning.
