		<description><![CDATA[Emanuel Sachs, a professor of mechanical engineering at MIT, has found a way to improve the efficiency of a type of silicon solar cells while keeping manufacturing costs about the same. 1366 Technologies, founded in part by Sachs, claims that it has improved the efficiency of its new multicrystalline silicon solar cells by 27 percent, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scientists at England&#8217;s Swansea University are working to develop a paint which can be quickly applied to large steels sheets to generate power from the sun beaming down on them. This paint would be suited to warehouses and other buildings that are commonly covered with steel sheets.  It is based on dye-sensitised solar cells. Although [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Massachussetts company Konarka Technologies has developed a way to to manufacture solar cells using inkjet printing. The company says that they have made the process of fabricating solar panels much easier and, more importantly, cheaper because they don&#8217;t require a clean room. Inkjet printing will also allow them to produce solar cells with multiple colors [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Polymer solar cells that are used today to convert sunlight to electricity degrade over time because of ultraviolet light. Scientists at UCLA have found a solution to that problem. They suggested coating solar cells with a material that converts photons of ultraviolet light into ones of visible light. Such a material would increase the efficiency [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Penn State scientists have created a new type of solar cell that mimics photosynthesis to produce hydrogen gas directly from water. Unfortunately, the prototype is inefficient, able to use only about 1% of the light energy falling on it for splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen gases. The scientists believe that with some optimization they [...]]]></description>
