William Yuan, a 12 year old, thinks he has found the solution for the energy crisis. After he studied nuclear fusion and nanotechnology, he decided to tackle the energy crisis head-on.
"Solar it seems underused, and there are only a few problems with it," Yuan said.
Motivated by his science teacher, he developed a 3D solar cell.
"Regular solar cells are only 2D and only allow light interaction once," he said.
The cell he developed can absorb visible and UV light.
If he is right, solar panels with his 3D cells would yield nine times more sunlight
and absorb 10 percent more energy from the sun - even when it's cloudy.
"Which would make solar energy actually a viable energy source for the Pacific Northwest," Yuan said.
His next step is to get a manufacturer and market it.
Yuan is flying out to Washington D.C. on Monday to accept a $25,000 scholarship for his research. He earned the Davidson Fellow award, which normally goes to a graduate student.
