The Swiss Commission for Technology and Innovation has awarded scientists a $2.4 million (2.25 million CHF) grant to develop an affordable photovoltaic system capable of concentrating solar radiation 2,000 times and converting 80 percent of the incoming radiation into useful energy.
Bonus: It desalinates water so you can drink it
80% is a huge boost for solar panels

"Researchers Design Nanometer-Scale Material That Can Speed Up, Squeeze Light"
Laws are made to be bend and broken, so clearly the laws of physics can also be bend and/or broken.
a specially designed "meta-atom" of gold and silicon oxide -- can transmit light through a wide bandwidth and at a speed approaching infinity.
SCIENCE!
