I wonder if the quantum dots can be used to make a more efficient solar panel to convert light into electricity.

@qx773

indeed, i read a an article about it

and there was also in a documantary, that quantum dots can absorb more than 80% of the light

whereas silicium solar panels achieve only 20%

That is pretty sweet. Future optics will benefit greatly... too bad it's awhile away; I guess it's a mixed blessing since by the time this is widely adopted, I'll be ready to get my new phone.

that sounds like a really good idea!
