A cooling layer for solar cells

from Naked Scientists, In Short Special Editions Podcast Hosted by The Naked Scientists

This conundrum may now be solved, thanks to a clever coating designed by Aaswath Raman and his colleagues at Stanford University. Like this podcast? Please help us by supporting the Naked Scientists
