Accidental Harvard Discovery Has Implication for Solar Photovoltaics

Treehugger again: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/10/black-silicon-sionyx-solar-power-technology-breakthrough.php Sometimes, good things happen by accident. Harvard scientists seem to have made a serendipitous discovery in "black silicon" which could make solar photovoltaic cells several times more efficient than they are at the moment. As the technology to make solar power more efficient and cost effective advances rapidly, I do hope that we shall show fossil fuel the fist asap.

Here's hoping for the best!
