Marrying models with experiments to build extra reliable solar cells
In a single day, enough sunlight strikes Earth to power the globe for a whole year-- that is, if we can locate a means to capture that energy cheaply and also effectively. While the price of solar energy has actually decreased substantially, current silicon-based solar cells are costly and energy-intensive to make, motivating scientists to search for alternatives.
