Do you always shoot from the lip? Do you engage your brain prior to typing?

¿¿¿¿¿¿, Negative, I prefer shooting from the hip.

It's great the kid is into science, and I'm sure he is very bright - However; Modern photovoltaics are approx 20% efficient, and Yaun claims to have increased the efficiency 500 fold. 10,000% efficiency is beyond highly improbable.

“If he is right, solar panels with his 3D cells would provide 500 times more light absorption than commercially-available solar cells and nine times more than cutting-edge 3D solar cells.”

a quote from this online article:>> http://www.katu.com/news/local/28432984.html

The money quote is “500 times more light absorption” when you start with a fraction 500 times does not void the laws of physics.
