Conventional silicon solar cells lose nearly half their potential light energy to surface reflection, but a new antireflective coating could dramatically reduce that loss. Researchers have developed a precision-engineered metasurface composed of a single ultrathin layer of polycrystalline silicon nanostructures, enhancing light absorption across a broad spectrum and incidence angles. The n
