An interactive visual explainer that walks from individual photons hitting silicon through the full energy-conversion chain, with animated diagrams that respond as you scroll. Its virtue is patience: it doesn't rush past the bandgap or the p-n junction, and it earns the complexity. One of the better science explainers of its kind.
