Great article! Thanks for posting it. Good investment possibilities with it.................FRegards
It has long been recognized that there is nothing about photo-electric power generation that could not be miniaturized; one possible alternative early on was the simple thermocouple [piezo-like] technology, which could be miniaturized to a 'chip' containing multiple photo-generators.
I have wondered what has happened to this type of research. I think the gentleman is correct: essentially it is a market-driven technology; with increasing costs of fossil fuels, and the stubborn cost of silicon cells, an alternate technology appears more attractive -- especially if it is CHEAPER.
Thanks for the ping. FReegards... IR
