Oxford scientists’ new light-absorbing material can turn everyday objects into solar panels

Oxford scientists’ new light-absorbing material can turn everyday objects into solar panels

Oxford University scientists may have solved one of the greatest hindrances of expanding access to solar energy. Scientists from the universitys physics department have created an ultra-thin layer of material that can be applied to the exterior of objects with sunlight access in place of bulky silicon-based solar panels. The ultra-thin and flexible film is
