To: nikki So, like, does he have a working prototype?
No mention of one in what I've read. The 'idea' appears to be two fold, pass his advisors, then find a manufacturer and get it to market. Here's a bit more:
We should note that Yuan based his research on some ground-breaking, graduate-level work on 3D solar cells done at Georgia Tech and Notre Dame. He also had help from professional mentors at Portland State University's Center for Nanofabrication and Electron Microscopy, Applied Materials Inc., and the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of California - Berkeley.
So he didn't actually invent it nor does there seem to be a working protoype....
