These living solar cells make energy, even in bad weather
“When it comes to generating energy from sunlight, unusual solutions have been shown to make the process more efficient.
Now, a team of researchers from the University of British Columbia (UBC) has demonstrated how solar cells made of living organisms can generate energy even with limited sunlight. Known as “biogenic” solar cells, these cells could offer an alternative to synthetic cells currently used in conventional solar panels, providing an energy source despite bad weather. A paper detailing the research was published this month in the journal Small…”
