I believe that your theory needs realism by being involved and being in close touch with experimentalists... Don't stray far from the experiments if you are working on theory, and if you have talent for experiments, do them."

Analysis sees many promising pathways for solar photovoltaic power

posted March 26, 2015 at 4:18 pm

Illustration shows the MIT team’s proposed scheme for comparing different photovoltaic materials, based on the complexity of their basic molecular structure. The complexity increases from the simplest material, pure silicon (single atom, lower left), to the most complex material currently being studied for potential solar cells, quantum dots (molecular structure at top right). Materials shown in between include gallium aresenide, perovskite and dye-sensitized solar cells. Courtesy of the researchers
