There are exciting results this week from The Clean Energy Project! Researchers at Harvard have just published data about the electronic properties of 2.3 million organic compounds and their potential for converting sunlight to electricity, including approximately 36,000 compounds with the potential for performing at double the efficiency of most current organic solar cells in production.

Scientists can use this information to continue investigating the most promising candidates for use in cheaper, more efficient and more flexible solar cells. Thanks to World Community Grid volunteers, the computations for this project, which would have taken 17,000 years on a single PC, were carried out in only three years and the results are now available to stimulate research in the next generation of solar energy solutions.
