SOLAR - Organic Solar Cells Receiving Big Boost In Efficiency Thanks To 'Evolution-Inspired' Algorithm

In a potentially breakthrough discovery, researchers at Northwestern University have designed a new type of organic solar cell that will very likely lead to much higher efficiency and cheaper solar power.The new cell design is based around a new geometrical pattern to be used in the 'scattering layer' of a solar cell, which works to keep the light trapped in the cell for longer.The specific geometrical pattern was obtained by using a mathemati ...
