Wikipedia:

Rubrene (5,6,11,12-tetraphenylnaphthacene) is a red colored polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. Rubrene is used as a sensitiser in chemoluminescence and as a yellow light source in lightsticks.

As an organic semiconductor, the major application of rubrene is in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic field-effect transistors, which are the core elements of flexible displays.

I hope this is a true step forward toward finally realizing cost-effective solar power, but I am skeptical. We've heard similar claims for decades, yet solar cell efficiency has barely improved at all.

It would be great if we could reach the point where each home produces its own power, especially as a defense against potential terrorist attacks on the electrical grid, but so far the economics just aren't there. All of the larger solar power projects across the country that are being touted by liberals are just for show. None of them make sense economically.
