Now get more efficient and brighter solar cells and LEDs with this new class of nanotechnology material. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute researchers have developed world’s first material which reflects no light. In this case an optical coating was used which can control basic properties of light. This could certainly throw some light on efficient solar cells, brighter LEDs and on a new class of smart light sources which could be adjusted to different environments.
This can serve as an ideal building block for anti reflection coatings since it has the same refractive index as that of air. The researchers were able to create a material with a refractive index of 1.05 which is almost equivalent to the refractive index of air and hence this help in achieving
This can certainly come handy in conservation of energy and it can be used efficiently for meeting the energy requirements of planet earth.
