Instead, Microsoft has [...]
While I may not know the inner-workings of solar power technology on a scientific level, some advances don’t require expert analysis to forecast their future success. One such breakthrough will come in the form of polymer solar cells, which are essentially smaller, more cost-effective solar cells than their silicon counterparts.
The research, published yesterday by scientists [...]
