Scientists have discovered a more efficient solar cell material that converts up to 30% of light (including infrared) to electricty; two to five times more than current solar cells do.
And you can paint it on, incorporate it into clothing, whatever. Your clothes could recharge your cellphone or PDA. Your walls could power your house. Your car's paint job could charge your battery, crack water into hydrogen to run you car....you get the drift.
Another interesting link.
I wonder what happened to the flexible/moldable plastic solar cell material that someone at a university here in Iowa was working on?
