By James Holloway Researchers at the University of Texas say it is possible to hike the energy yield of solar cells by exploiting what they call a photon’s “shadow state”, doubling the number of electrons that may be harvested in the process. They claim the discovery could up the theoretical maximum efficiency of silicon solar cells [...]
