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. These dots have four arms.
    2. Four arms is an odd number to have.
    3. The only number that is both even and odd is infinity.
    4. Therefore, these dots really have infinite numbers of arms!

    Dot is short for Dorothy. So they're not guys, they're gals. The inventors, being nerds, can't distinguish legs from arms.
