Anyone here able to explain this somewhat simpler:

Supposedly tripling PV output?

https://www.kyushu-u.ac.jp/en/researches/view/377

I stopped reading at: "This technology pushes energy conversion efficiency to about 130%" but this is hopefully just journo shit talk.

@HaraldKi @minkorrekt @wrint Yeah. I have the same questions.

I _think_ the 130% stuff is popularization fluff. Up to now, the limit for converting solar energy to electricity was around 43% (if I remember right). Possibly they mean the new limit with the spin-flip magic is closer to 60%. ?? I can't imagine Kyushu Uni or JACS would publish drivel. Right??
