Those crazy scientists! I’m telling ya.
Researchers at Oregon State University have developed a nanostructure film that may help solar panels reach new levels of efficiency by trapping more photons and letting less energy escape from reflection. This could be a big deal. Any gain in effieciency matters, and if we string enough of them together we could have some great solar panels in no time.
