The practical applications could improve the efficiency of quantum computers, where light is often used to transfer information.
ENGADGET: Researchers capture a single atom's shadow, has implications for quantum computers
The rising use of aluminum in passenger cars and light trucks comes because of rising fuel-efficiency standards in the U.S., he said.
All engineering mumbo-jumbo aside, the resulting nanocone-tipped cells converted light-to-power with efficiency of 3.2% compared to 1.8% efficiency of conventional planar structure of the same materials.
FORBES: Nanocone-Tips Take Solar Cell Efficiency to Next Level
The system with a nitride semiconductor and a metal catalyst generates mainly formic acid from CO2 and water with light at a world's top efficiency of 0.2%.
And over the next five years, we expect fuel efficiency standards in cars and light trucks to reach an average of 35.5 miles per gallon.
C. to announce the next round of a coordinated national program to improve fuel efficiency for cars and light-duty trucks for model years 2017 to 2025.
He says that the FCC paper is only talking about the amount of light that's transmitted to the device, not the efficiency of the device itself.
An Eco Illumination2 light turns from red to green as driving efficiency increases and provides an awareness of driving habits.
ENGADGET: Pioneer announces Aha Radio partnership, plans for app domination
The important measure of success is the internal quantum efficiency, which shows just how good an LED is at making light.
During the analyst day, the company announced an efficiency record of 16.1%, which means that panel could convert 16.1% of the light it receives into electricity.
FORBES: How First Solar Is Remaking Itself With New Tech And Leaders
It will be the first on the market that reaches that level of efficiency and functions across a normal range of temperatures and is capable of consistently producing the same amount of warm white colored light as comparable fluorescent tubes.
