3 Reasons Why Cheap Abundant Electricity Is Getting Closer To Reality

Quantum Dots Make Better Solar Panels
"According to Science Daily, researchers at the University of Queensland have set a new world record for the conversion of solar energy to electricity using quantum dots — which pass electrons between one another and generate electrical current when exposed to solar energy in a solar cell device. The solar devices they developed have beaten the existing solar conversion record by 25%."
