Bacteria-packed solar cell soaks up the Sun even behind clouds

Microscopic organisms were some of the first things to tap into the Sun for energy, so it follows to use them to make better solar cells. Now, researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have developed a new way to build solar cells containing bacteria, which are more efficient than similar systems and can even work on dim, cloudy days...
