#ENERGY: "IBM and Airlight to Boost Solar by 10X"

IBM Research and Airlight Energy have received a three-year $2.4 million grant to build a full-scale version of their high-concentration photovoltaic prototype--aiming for as much as a 10-time boost by virtue of using micro-fluidic water cooling of commercial triple-junction photovoltaic cells: R. Colin Johnson @NextGenLog
