Scientists make game-changing update to traditional solar panel design: 'A convenient and accessible energy source'

While the term "solar panel" traditionally refers to a device that draws energy from authentic sunlight, a research team from Taiwan's National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University has developed a solar cell that can harness the same power from indoor fluorescent lighting. Hoping to make solar energy more versatile — solar panels are less effective at night and can respond poorly to the dirt and moisture of the outdoors — the researchers adjusted the…
