Tiny Glitter-sized Solar Cells -- An Energy Revolution

Technology is emerging that can make the average person on the street a walking battery charger.

Jude Garvey for Gizmag.com reports:

"Scientists from Sandia National Laboratories have developed tiny, glitter-sized photovoltaic cells that are ten times thinner than conventional solar cells and could one day be used in a variety of applications – from satellites and remote-sensing, to tents and perhaps even clothing.

The Sandia research team identified over 20 benefits of scale for these tiny cells over traditional solar cells, including better performance, more efficiencies and possibly reduced costs." See full article.
