Doctoral student Aditya G. Baradwaj (at left), professor Muhammad A. Alam (center) and doctoral student Ryyan Khan, operate a solar simulator. They are members of a research team led by former doctoral student Biswajit Ray and also involving assistant professor Bryan Boudouris reporting new findings that contradict a fundamental assumption about the functioning of "organic" solar cells made of low-cost plastics. The findings suggest a new strategy for creating inexpensive solar technology.
