Recent research has revealed a new way to help identify the most promising solar cell materials: color coding. By using a technique called atomistic computer modeling, researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder were able to assign specific colors to different solar cell materials to make it easier to identify good candidates for solar energy conversion. This technique could help scientists and engineers save time by quickly and efficiently identifying the best materials for solar energy devices. The results of the study were recently published in the journal Nature Communications.
