The project demonstrates that superior light-emitting
properties of quantum dots can be applied in solar energy by helping more
efficiently harvest sunlight.
Photovoltaic solar-panel windows could be next for your
house
A house window that doubles as a solar panel could be on the
horizon, thanks to recent quantum-dot work by Los Alamos National Laboratory
researchers in collaboration with scientists from University of Milano-Bicocca
(UNIMIB), Italy. Their project demonstrates that superior light-emitting
properties of quantum dots can be applied in solar energy by helping more
efficiently harvest sunlight.
