Earlier this year, the US' National Renewable Energy Lab announced that a new record had been set for solar cells that were able to convert sunlight to electricity at the rate of 29.8 percent using a silicon-based cell. If the Cambridge research can be translated into a working solar cell, there's a good chance that record won't stand for long. Plus, with a recent advance that makes perovskite cells cheaper and more durable, silicon's days in the sun might soon be drawing to a close.
Material break through for solar?
