De, I'm still puzzled how anything can go over 100%. Makes you wonder if it's yet another claimed scientific result that can't be reproduced by anyone else.

Like Al Gore's global warming, lol.

And while I think I get the gist of that post, I also have to admit that the details left me at an almost total loss. Quantum dots? External quantum efficiency?

It *almost* reads like a violation of the law of conservation of energy! But that's impossible, and the article also talks about how the cells harvest energy beyond the photonic influx.
