"newest organic solar materials (named Y6) electrons freed after being excited by light. Y6 were in fact behaving completely differently than expected, researchers led by Dr. Mike Price, Dr. Paul Hume and Prof Justin Hodgkiss conducted a comprehensive series of laser spectroscopy measurements and theoretical calculations. Their work sparks an entirely new direction for the large field of organic solar panel research, letting researchers move beyond the "bound," or "stuck" electron paradigm of the last 30 years"
