New fractal concentrated solar power receivers absorb sunlight more efficiently

Concentrated solar power facilities are often large. But smaller plants could offer a clean energy option for villages if researchers could boost receiver efficiency. Sandia National Laboratories engineers have come closer to that goal with a fractal-like design for receivers that are as much as 20 percent better at absorbing light than today's technology.
