Buckyballs on DNA for harvesting light
Organic molecules that record photons and also convert these into electrical energy have vital applications for generating environment-friendly power. Light-harvesting facilities need 2 semiconductors, an electron benefactor as well as an acceptor. Exactly how well they function is determined by their quantum efficiency, the price whereby photons are exchanged electron-hole pairs.

Economics of road transport starting to favor renewables
According to a new report by BNP Paribas Asset Management, renewables offer more advantages than simply mitigating climate change. Electricity is easier to transport than oil, and wind and solar electricity prices are much more stable than volatile oil prices. An analyst from the French bank argues that major producers will need to reduce oil prices below $20 to compete with clean energy in the transport sector.

Distributed generation growing in Latin America
In the early years of the 21st century, distributed generation systems in Latin America were mainly installed off-grid in remote rural areas, writes Maria Chea, solar analyst at IHS Markit. As the El Niño phenomenon and high oil prices continued to exacerbate high electricity prices and power shortages, governments began to turn their attention to distributed generation, including PV systems, to assuage strains on their national grid networks.
