Swedish researchers are making photovoltaic technology come alive - literally. Zackary Chiragwandi and his colleagues at Chalmers University of Technology have found a way to create cheaper solar cells using special proteins harvested from bioluminescent jellyfish.
When these glowing proteins, known as green fluorescent proteins (GFP), are inserted between two aluminum electrodes, they generate current by absorbing photons and emitting electrons.
