Quantum Dot Recipe May Lead To Cheaper Solar Panels

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the hot-research dept.

Science Daily is reporting that scientists have developed a new method for cost-effectively producing four-armed quantum dots that have previously been shown to be particularly effective at converting sunlight into electrical energy. The discovery could clear the way for better, cheaper solar energy panels.

  1. Not Again! by Syncerus · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    This about the 27th article this month about some nebulous Solar power breakthrough guaranteed to revolutionize the generation of energy as we know it. We'll never hear about this ever again, and we'll still need to burn oil and coal to power our air conditioners and SUVs.

    This belongs in the VAPORWARE category.

    Yeah,

    You'll be able to enjoy free energy, disconnect from the power grid, and enjoy singing tomorrows...

    Never gonna happen.

    Not good for THE ECONOMY!

    You gonna pay till you die (and your childrens after you)

    Period.

    Wake-up!

    Market Economy.
    Capitalism.
