It may be a while, but soon enough plain glass windows will never be the same again! Thanks to scientists from New Energy Technologies, Inc and the NREL, if windows have a see-through wiring system attached to them, they’ll be able to harvest and conduct electricity. The technology is especially attractive because there’s no way […]

New Energy Technologies Inc developed an organic solar array that is both transparent and produces electricity. They made use of conductive polymers, a thousand times thinner than human hair, assembled them together, and - voilÃƒÆ’ ! Here's a working solar cell less then 1/4 the size of a grain of rice, producing electricity just like its big silicon brother, only cheaper.
