Using this new technological breakthrough, the researchers predict that they can dramatically increase the amount of energy, which solar panels generate.
It can be achieved by harnessing some of energy wasted by currently used solar panels.
The findings were recently reported in the journal Nature Energy in a paper by Massachusetts Institute of Technology doctoral student David Bierman, professors Evelyn Wang and Marin Soljačić, and four others.
