Scientists unlock breakthrough that could ignite a new era of solar energy: 'We want to fine-tune their performance'

Solar power is already a cleaner energy source than traditional dirty fuels, but a team of researchers from Tohoku University has made a breakthrough that could make solar even cleaner, according to an article from the university posted to Tech Xplore.  Solar power harnesses sunlight and converts it into energy that can power homes and businesses. The panels use solar cells to do this, but manufacturing the cells is one of the least efficient pa…
