Many advancements, like the ones made by Ohio State University (see Solar Energy Breakthough at OSU) indicate that in the not so far future solar energy has the potential to begin significantly supplementing our energy needs.  The current photovoltaic cell does offer us a glimpse at future solar possibilities. Unfortunately, due to its bulky size to output ratio [...]

At Ohio State University, the future of solar technology is being made.  Recently researchers discovered a way to capture all the energy of all visible sunlight.  By combining certain conductive plastics and alloy they created a material that is capable of generating far more output than conventional photovoltaic cells.
Using a supercomputer to model different [...]
