We all know we have the power to make the world a bit greener – and many feel that includes messing with DNA for environmental improvements, or just better efficiency for our gadgets. Now there’s new hope that DNA could play a major role in making computers run with little or no external power.

A team of academics based at the University of Washington have announced an exciting breakthrough in dye-sensitized solar cell technology.
Researchers studying solar cell configurations discovered that by using a design based on a popcorn ball, (tiny spheres grouped into bigger porous spheres), efficiency in cheap solar cells was more than doubled.
