Solar cell makers can learn from giant clams, claim Yale researchers

Yale University scientists are seeking industry collaborators to explore stretchy material for panels and growing algae on modules, as well as other efficiency-boosting possibilities inspired by giant clam behavior. Anyone interested in increasing the efficiency of their solar panels should consider taking inspiration from giant clams in the shallow waters of the Western Pacific Ocean, as a recent study led by Yale University scientists hypothesizes. The scientists are currently working on obtaining funding for further proof-of-concept scale devices that operate according to the clam's unique ...
