12-year-old Revolutionizes the Solar Cell | Geekdad from Wired.com (http://blog.wired.com/geekdad/2008/09/12-year-old-rev.html)
William Yuan, a seventh-grader from Portland, OR, developed a three-dimensional solar cell that absorbs UV as well as visible light. The combination of the two might greatly improve cell efficiency. William's project earned him a $25,000 scholarship and a trip to the Library of Congress to accept the award, which is usually given out for research at the graduate level.
