500 keer meer zonne-energie dankzij 12-jarige

Netjes!

Het verhaal verdient wel enige nuance, copy/past van Wired (http://blog.wired.com/geekdad/2008/09/12-y...):

From Kirk Englehardt, Director of Communication at Georgia Tech Research Institute:

Thank you for sharing this very interesting story. There is, however, a clarification that needs to be added.

The 3D solar cell was invented several years ago at the Georgia Tech Research Institute by our team of world-class scientists and engineers.

The Georgia Tech Research Institute (www.gtri.gatech.edu) has been making 3D solar cell prototypes of this design since 2004. You can read about the work in our April 2007 news release online. Our work has patents pending in the US and abroad. We have also published our research widely in an number of highly regarded research journals including the Journal of Applied Physics, Journal of Materials and Carbon.

The 3D Solar Cell has the potential to be breakthrough in the solar industry. The global and exclusive license to the 3D Solar Cell intellectual property is held by IP2BIZ in Atlanta. The license is currently for sale to any firm that can further develop, manufacture and bring it to market.

It is wonderful to see a student taking a real interest in science and math. We are also happy to hear of William’s interest in 3D solar cells. We encourage him to contact the Georgia Tech Research Institute so he may be connected with our lead researcher (Dr. Jud Ready), who would love for him to visit our laboratories to see how we create our photovoltaic cells. Who knows – maybe William can contribute to our groundbreaking work.

For additional information about this work simply Google "3D Solar Cell"

... waarmee ik bedoelde te zeggen dat William misschien ook wel internet mét Google heeft.

Dat ligt dus idd iets genuanceerder.

Volgens onderstaand artikel:

Heeft William de uitvinding van Georgia Tech VERBETERD.

Best wel heftig voor een ventje van 12 ...
