The biggest impediments to widespread adoption of photovoltaic cells as a routine source of energy are the cells' inadequate efficiency and high cost. According to EE Times, IBM has taken a major step toward removing those barriers. Critical to the new development is the devices' cooling mechanism, which employs a liquid metal layer of gallium and indium between the chip logic and a cooling block. The technology will eventually allow constructing applications that generate much more electricity with many fewer chips. Larger lenses are increasing the concentration of solar rays by a factor of ten, raising power levels significantly.
