Diatoms Could Triple Solar Cell Efficiency

I pondered out loud recently at the seemingly numerous technological advancements in the RE sector. They appear to be coming fast and furious these days. Now there is another one, where solar cell efficiency can be tripled with microscopic algae called diatoms. The diatoms trap the light and suggest that more photons are then captured and converted to electricity. I'm constantly amazed at the ingenuity of the human mind. Check out the article.
