Capturing All Energy of All Visible Sunlight - Ohio State University

Posted on Tuesday, December 30, 2008 posted by posted by Ecacofonix @ 2:05 AM

At Ohio State University, the future of solar technology is being made. Recently researchers discovered a way to capture all the energy of all visible sunlight. By combining certain conductive plastics and alloy they created a material that is capable of generating far more output than conventional photovoltaic cells. Using a supercomputer to model different configurations of molecules, researchers were able to determine a hybrid material for testing. They synthesized this material and measured it for frequency of light absorbed and also for length of time electrons remained free. More from here

  In the beginning, there were algae,
but there was no oil Then, from algae came oil.
Now, the algae are still there, but oil is fast depleting
In future, there will be no oil, but there will still be algae  
So, doesn't it make sense to explore if we can again get oil from algae?
This is what we try to do at Oilgae.com - explore the potential of getting oil from algae
