One of the holy grails of solar cell technology may have been found, with researchers at UCLA announcing they have created a new organic polymer that produces electricity, is nearly transparent and is more durable and malleable than silicon. The applications are mind-boggling. Windows that produce electricity. Buildings wrapped in transparent solar cells. Laptops and phones – or even cars or planes – whose outer coverings act as chargers. It might even be sprayed on as a liquid. The promise of cheap and easy-to-apply site-generated solar electricity might now be a lot closer to reality. Of course, the idea of solar films and solar plastics is not new. The breakthrough to making a transparent film, however, came with isolating only one band of light in the spectrum.
“[A solar film] harvests light and turns it into electricity. In our case, we harvest only the infrared part,” says Professor Yang Yang at UCLA’s California Nanosystems Institute, who has headed up the research on the new photovoltaic polymer. Absorbing only the infrared light, he explains, means the material doesn’t have to be dark or black or blue, like most silicon photovoltaic panels. It can be clear. “We have developed a material that absorbs infrared and is all transparent to the visible light.”...

This report about the solar power breakthrough at UCLA will surely serve as an inspiration and an eye-opener to different organisations. Keep your informative posts coming!
Very much appreciated it looks like the post of solar power Toronto, better to keep on going when it comes on posting!
WoW, that sure is pretty cool,I hope others find it helpful and educational as i did.Solar Power Lights
Great post. I was looking up San Francisco solar power when I came across your post. I am glad I did because that video was very interesting. Thanks so much for sharing.
Solar energy is been seen as the future power source which will lighten up our new world.

We are expecting that Solar Power will mitigate all the power crisis and all the lacking in power sector.
nice broooo
Many of the models of calculators are an auto turn off; one who is working has to keep the calculator non-operating for a few seconds to turn it off, and some can be switched off by closing their lid. Some of the calculators are provided with the power off button. The displays of Calculators are liquid crystal displays. Some of the modern calculators are provided with memory cards and make the calculator able to store data. The storage capacity can be increased by putting the memory cards with large storage space. Initially many of the schools allowed their students to use calculators for solving their mathematical problems but many of the parents and teachers opposed this idea of allowing calculator in schools because they thought that the students will then totally rely on calculators. There was an agreement made that the students will be allowed to use the calculators only after when they attain proficiency in solving the sums themselves. After a brief research it was proved that calculator restrict the mathematical thinking power of the children’s and lack mathematical problem solving skills.

Thank you for sharing this post. I found it very informative and interesting. That is a great break through. Solar power is the wave of the future and the more we progress it, the better. My company has been looking into commercial solar power because we want to save money on our electric bill, while reducing our carbon footprint at the same time!
The technicalities aside, it's a break through in electricity generation,,...Sukam Inverter Dealers Hyderabad
