While solar cells are normally used to convert light into electricity, researchers have demonstrated that they may also be utilized to produce high-speed underwater wireless optical communication. The novel method, which relied on a network of series-connected solar cells as detectors, could provide a low-cost, low-energy mechanism to send data underwater.
