Scientists at Oxford University are coating a new solar power-generating material onto objects such as rucksacks, cars, and mobile phones. The potential of this breakthrough means that increasing amounts of solar electricity could be generated without silicon-based solar panels. The Oxford scientists’ new light-absorbing material is, for the first time,...
