Drones will fly for days with new photovoltaic engine

Drones will fly for days with new photovoltaic engine by Linda Vu UC Berkeley researchers just broke another record in photovoltaic efficiency, an achievement that could lead to an ultralight engine that can power drones for days. For the past 15 years, the efficiency of converting heat into electricity with thermovoltaics has been stalled at 23 percent. But a groundbreaking physical insight has a
