Broken Solar Cells Work Better Than Perfect Ones!

Scientists discovered something wild: solar cells with tiny cracks and flaws [breaks in the material] actually work BETTER than perfect ones! The defects create special highways inside that help electricity move super efficiently, kind of like how a cracked sidewalk somehow guides water in just the right way. This means we could make super cheap, super powerful solar panels that run on sunshine—and the broken ones might be the best!
