Breakthrough barium titanate solar panels are 1000x more powerful than existing panels - eviltoast
Researchers have discovered a new method to increase the efficiency of solar cells which could revolutionize the solar energy industry

Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) have discovered a new method to increase the efficiency of solar cells by a factor of 1,000. The team of scientists achieved this breakthrough by creating crystalline layers of barium titanate, strontium titanate, and calcium titanate, which were alternately placed on top of one another in a lattice structure.

Their findings, which could revolutionize the solar energy industry, were recently published in the journal Science Advances.

    Thanks for the details! That helps to make sense of it.

    the uninformed media is hyping it, the scientists in the paper were perfectly reasonable.

    Unfortunately the most common problem of science reporting. And that goes to positive and negative hype.
