We've been following MIT's progress on creating solar cell-coated paper since 2010, and we're excited to report the current findings of the project. What looks and feels like an ordinary sheet of ...

The Eni-MIT Solar Frontiers Research Center is experimenting with nanomaterials for solar cells that can be coated onto paper and other flexible substrates. Martin LaMonica is a senior writer covering ...

Researchers show off early prototypes of paper-thin solar cells, along with a material that can clean up oil spilled in water. Martin LaMonica is a senior writer covering green tech and cutting-edge ...

When we covered the Solar Paper Kickstarter campaign last year, the team shot for the moon but ended up reaching the sun. At the close of funding, the solar charger project had raised an impressive ...

Now panels can be made lightweight, cheaply, and cleanly. It could be the first step in revolutionizing how we generate solar power. Researchers have long toyed with the idea of printing solar cells ...

A new manufacturing technique may allow for solar panels to be produced simply using nothing more than an ink-jet printer. The new technique, developed by MIT researchers, is a much gentler technology ...

The folks at Solar Paper just launched one of the thinnest, most compact solar chargers on the market. The Yolk charger is a little big bigger than an iPhone 6 and folds out into two solar panels at 5 ...

Solar technology is getting better and better, with a new Kickstarter campaign having been started for "Solar Paper," which is touted as the world's smallest solar chargers. The chargers are available ...

Yes, you read that title correctly. A team of scientists from Imperial College London, University of Cambridge and Central Saint Martins have created a two-in-one solar bio-battery and solar panel by ...

Small solar chargers for your gadgets are nothing new, but the most modern batches are only vaguely similar to the first chargers on the market. Solar Paper is perhaps the best example of this — it is ...
