i love these statements :)
so a 10% efficient solar cell will achieve 1000 to 5000% efficiency ;)

I guess this statement over the greatly improved efficiency makes only sense if silicon becomes 100 to 500 times more sensitive for a specific wavelength where silicon normally is very insensitive ...

It looks like this is something similar, quantum confinement of the charge carriers. The problem with that is that you have to some how get those charges out which defies the entire nature of the material. Maybe they figured this one out. I wouldn't hold my breath though.]]>Oct 14th 2008 8:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/black-silicon-is-poised-to-improve-digital-imaging-maybe-solar/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/black-silicon-is-poised-to-improve-digital-imaging-maybe-solar/Oct 14th 2008 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/black-silicon-is-poised-to-improve-digital-imaging-maybe-solar/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/black-silicon-is-poised-to-improve-digital-imaging-maybe-solar/
Conclusion: dream on people ;) with a simple wish to popularize new technology and $11 million you can change the world. If you want to. If the world doesn't change, its nothing else than "future technology 512". Maybe your grand-grand-grand kids will invent something better and benefit from it but not you.]]>Oct 14th 2008 8:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/black-silicon-is-poised-to-improve-digital-imaging-maybe-solar/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/black-silicon-is-poised-to-improve-digital-imaging-maybe-solar/Oct 14th 2008 9:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/black-silicon-is-poised-to-improve-digital-imaging-maybe-solar/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/black-silicon-is-poised-to-improve-digital-imaging-maybe-solar/Oct 14th 2008 9:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/black-silicon-is-poised-to-improve-digital-imaging-maybe-solar/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/black-silicon-is-poised-to-improve-digital-imaging-maybe-solar/Oct 14th 2008 9:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/black-silicon-is-poised-to-improve-digital-imaging-maybe-solar/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/black-silicon-is-poised-to-improve-digital-imaging-maybe-solar/Oct 14th 2008 9:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/black-silicon-is-poised-to-improve-digital-imaging-maybe-solar/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/black-silicon-is-poised-to-improve-digital-imaging-maybe-solar/
