Solar panels are hard to miss. Whether you see a dozen perched on the roof of a house or a few thousand laid down in rows on a solar farm, their dark metallic hues and large presence are eye-catching. For the majority of their existence, solar panels have been limited to roofs and fields to ensure clear sun exposure. Recent technological developments, however, might force you to look elsewhere. Solar cells now can be transparent, colored and downright sneaky, poised for integration into any environment under the sun – literally. “We think we can make solar panels more...Read full article

    quantum efficiency
    Quantum efficiency (QE) is a measure of the effectiveness with which a device or system, typically in the context of photonics or electronics, converts incoming photons (light) into a useful output signal or response. It is expressed as a ratio or percentage and quantifies the number of electrons or charge carriers generated in response to the incident photons. In other words, quantum efficiency provides a measure of how well a device can capture and utilize photons to produce an electric...
