Solar cells thinner than the wavelength of light and 10 times more powerful developed

Solar cells have their setbacks, one of which is being expensive. The more powerful ones always burn a large hole in your pocket, and to generate all that energy, they need to be thicker too. A new type of solar cell has recently been developed by researchers at the Stanford University that might just help save up on costs in the future. The cell is said to be thinner than the wavelength of light itself! And besides just be shockingly skinnier, the cell can also absorb around 10 times more sunlight than the solar cells today. By stopping the light from bouncing around using light trapping, the ultra-thin cell helps absorb more energy easily.

A solar cell this thin could help change the face of the solar industry in the very-near future and give the world a better and much more efficient way to generate power from solar juice!
