Superabsorbing Light With Quantum Dots

Quantum technology inspired by algae could aid the development of ‘super-absorbers’ for energy storage.

“The ability to harness light at an atomic level would improve solar panels, and bring scientists a step closer to building a ‘super-absorber’ for energy storage,” Dr. Stace said. “Our design might become the basis of highly efficient systems for harnessing solar energy in the future.”
