In his earlier research, Professor Bachmann was able to show the impact the surface structure of semiconductors has on the efficiency of solar cells at the smallest level. With a high-resolution 3D printer that is accurate down to 0.000001 millimeters, he now hopes to systematically test which surface structure makes the semiconductor most efficient. This optimization process is necessary if sustainable materials are to be used in the area of renewable energies.
