    This 12 year old may solve our energy crisis! Read full story here!

    Quite impressive, a 12 year old boy who has invented a solar cell that absorbs 9 times more energy than the cutting edge, and 500 times more than a common solar cell!

    Yay! I hope it's cost-effective to produce it.

    Really fantastic. And I agree with Cathy A in that I hope it is cost effective to produce. Nanotechnology can still be rather expensive, but the idea is very, very promising. Three cheers for a Davidson Fellow Scholar who may help solve our energy crisis.

    And just maybe the rest of the world will realize the benefits of allowing these gifted minds to race ahead! grin

    There are several novel properties to his solution, not just one. He approached the problem as a system that would be greater than sum of its parts, not just a collection of parts. Each one needs the other.
