Next-generation solar cells that mimic photosynthesis with biological material may give new meaning to the term 'green technology.'

Shin-Etsu Chemical holds a number of patents on doping Ga in silicon crystals and using the Ga-doped p-type crystalline silicon wafers.

This same material is used in the coating applied to the glass or clear plastic of touch screens, solar cells and light-emitting diodes.

Scientists have developed organic solar cells optimized to convert ambient indoor light to electricity, enough to feed the millions of products.

Solar cells that use mixtures of organic molecules could be a step closer to reality thanks to a discovery that challenges conventional thinking.
