With the creation of a 3-D nanocone-based solar cell platform, a team led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Jun Xu has boosted the light-to-power conversion efficiency of photovoltaics by nearly 80 percent. With this approach at the laboratory scale, Xu and colleagues were able to obtain a light-to-power conversion efficiency of 3.2%

This guided them in successfully engineering the new strain of yeast that not only shows resistance to ionic liquids but also improves sugar conversion and biofuel production. The technique of chemical genomics-guided bio-design is novel, and rich in potential for future applications. —Dickinson et al.
