The ‘butterfly effect’ of Chinese PV listings
A recent study shows that PV costs have declined faster than any other energy technology over the past two decades. The researcher behind the study said this would not have been possible without the “butterfly effect,” which is based on the idea that a small change in one part of a complex system can have a large impact elsewhere. The researcher also attributed the the rapidly declining cost of PV to Chinese manufacturing and strong US investor support.

Pollutants improve efficiency of organic solar cells
Sunshine uses a prospective service in the look for an energy resource that does not damage the planet, but this relies on discovering a method to successfully turn electro-magnetic power into electricity. Scientists from KAUST have demonstrated how a recognized herbicide can improve this conversion in natural devices.
