The answer to harnessing cost-effective solar power may be just around the corner. A team of researchers from the University of Alberta developed a cost-effective solar cell made with spray-paint like synthetics, and are now touting it as the breakthrough that will prove solar power isn’t as expensive to harness as we thought. Jillian Buriak, a chemistry professor at the University of Alberta used zinc and phosphide nanoparticles in their research, saying this is some of the most promising material in the solar cell industry, and far more…
