Solar cells thinner than spiders silk developed

Scientists develop ultra thin solar cells

Austrian and Japanese researchers on Wednesday unveiled solar cells thinner than a thread of spider silk that are flexible enough to be wrapped around a single human hair...

Damn....

I just want Solar cells to start being affordable.....

I was thinking the exact same thing. We dont need smaller. We need cheaper.

Can't you guys see the application for this?!
People like Jacques Kallis and I can get our falling-out hair replaced with SOLAR CELLS which can then lead to a plug (maybe in an earhole?) that we can use to charge our phones!

Lol, thought you were gonna say wear it on the cricket field but this is better!

Now sir, that is a legendary idea...

I suggest you patent it quick smart....

If these solar cells are cheap then it would be great to see how they do in the new concertina configuration that MIT has developed to maximize the yield from solar cells.

Put them in a cover for my laptop's lid. That way I never need power from an outlet.

 

[Fearl3$$]

the applications for this is endless.
Laptops,Cellphones, buildings, cars could be powered by this.

solar should be cheap!
