In article number 1601992, Ralph G. Nuzzo, John A. Rogers, and co‐workers demonstrate broadband anti‐reflection coatings that rely on porous nanomaterials formed by self‐assembly. The image shows the use of such coatings (orange) on an array of lenses within a concentration photovoltaics architecture, where photons are efficiently concentrated onto underlying triple‐junction solar cells, leading to an efficiency enhancement of ≈8%.
