This system can be incorporated in artificial photovoltaic device architectures while preserving their biomolecular functional properties. […]

It was a starting point for some Stanford engineers, who found out that light ricocheting inside an ultra-thin polymer film solar cell behaves differently than if the film wasn't so thin. The difference is enormous.
