It's a photovoltaic milestone since 1839 — Canada develops bioluminescent "living" cells that work even on cloudy days

In the advancement of solar cells, here's a novel approach that takes its cues from 19th century research. 

Essentially, scientists have created a photovoltaic that uses organic matter to increase the throughput and which can be used to collect energy even when full sun isn't available. 

It's a pretty remarkable feat that could further increase the efficiency, and availability, of solar power.
