This is a very interesting topic, especially since it's so important to our future. This research will hopefully allow us to make solar energy cheap enough to be able to compete with fossil fuels. As Mr. Zhu points out in the video, in the next 20 - 50 years we need to move from a fossil fuel economy to a solar energy economy. It's our only choice.
