Oklahoma physicist discovers the hidden potential of high-efficiency solar cells
One of the best difficulties of solar cells is the Shockley-Queisser restriction, the presumption that there is a basic limit for energy a solar cell can absorb and also convert into functional energy. College of Oklahoma physicist Ian Sellers is showing that the commonly held assumption is false.
