IBM Harvard Collaborate to Create Higher Efficiency Solar Photovoltaic Cells
IBM and Harvard University will create a community-driven grid computing model that will harness unused computer cycles to perform computational chemistry, screening compunds for photovoltaic efficiency. ...
... "Current silicon based solar cells are only about 20 per cent efficient and cost about $3 per watt of electricity generated. A newer form of solar powered cells being developed is plastic not silicon based. It holds great promise because it is flexible, lightweight and most significant is much less costly to produce. " ...Via IBM: Lower Cost, More Efficient Solar Cell Research Project
World Community Grid: "The Grid's mission is to create the largest public computing grid benefiting humanity."
