Oxford researchers have developed an "ultra-thin material" that provides 27% energy efficiency in converting sunlight into energy.

This is significant because the most commercially available solar panels peak at roughly 23% efficiency.

With further development, the Oxford team believes its latest photovoltaic device could exceed 45% efficiency with no need for the assistance of the panels.
