Solar Cells: Back to the Basics, Forward to the Future
To sustainably power our digital future, the world needs more — and more efficient — sources of renewable energy. Michigan Tech researchers are pioneering one such breakthrough in solar energy: highly efficient quantum dot solar cells. Society’s growing digital infrastructure and the power-hungry data centers required to support it all have dramatically increased global electricity demand, making efficient renewable energy production more critical than ever. At a time when tech companies and governments are seeking sustainable energy solutions, researchers at Michigan Technological University have paved a new path toward efficient, scalable solar energy.
