• ITMO’s Monday Science Roundup #58

  …skite solar cells. Solar power, though highly useful in autonomous systems – and eco-friendly to boot – has long been associated with the high rate of energy loss during conversion of light into electricity. The researchers’ use of silicon nanoantennas shows promise: though the increase in efficiency during experiments has not been drastic, what’s remarkable about…

• Solar Cells Made More Efficient Thanks to Silicon Nanoantennas

  …lar cell to magnify light in various wavelengths: blue, green, yellow, red, and near IR. The specialists tested the obtained samples via a sun simulator and measured the conversion rate.  The experiment showed that the efficiency of the cells increased as compared to the initial samples, which demonstrated a 19% rate. The best effect was achieved in two solutions …
