SUPERIOR SOLAR PANELS

_{One way to increase solar cell efficiency is to change their chemical makeup. Current cells use silicon, a long-lasting inorganic element, great at transporting electric charges, and satisfactory at absorbing light energy. Certain organic molecules, on the other hand, are great at absorbing light energy, but can degrade quickly in the presence of moisture and oxygen. Combining inorganic and organic compounds into one solar cell could offer the best of both worlds. Now a technique for depositing hybrid materials made of both inorganic and large organic compounds has been developed and demonstrated.}
