Graduate student Miles Barr hold a flexible and foldable array of solar cells that have been printed on a sheet of paper.
Just imagine folding a sheet of solar panel into a kiddie airplane or using a small solar sheet to electrify powerful gadgets around the house? Sounds amazing but impossible, doesn’t it! But that’s what a MIT News press release claims to have invented, making it possible to produce photovoltaic cells on paper or fabric looking very much alike to a printed sheet of paper. (more…)
