Atom-Thin Photovoltaic Sheets

Scientists at MIT have recently invented a new kind of photovoltaic materials that are a thousand times thinner than the traditional silicon cells. These new cells can increase the solar panel’s energy conversion efficiency, and lower the cost of manufacturing. Made with Graphene and Molybdenum disulfide, this new cell is barely the thickness of a molecule – resulting in a solar panel that is thinner and the lighter than current solar panels on the market today.

Solar Powered iPad Cases – No Limit to Imagination

Made of corn-based plastic that are hard but biodegradable, these “green” iPad cases have solar panels on the front cover that produce energy from both indoor and outdoor light sources.

Batteries that capture energy from the sun is not a new technology, we have had calculators that do that. But a new, ambitious and competitive field is slowly evolving – a field that offers solar powered iPad cases. The frontrunner of this field seems to be KudoCase – Wireless NRG’s solar-powered iPad cases. Made of corn-based plastic that are hard but biodegradable, these “green” iPad cases have solar panels on the front cover that produce energy from both indoor and outdoor light sources. The case’s built-in battery is charged by the solar panels and this charges your iPad for up to 10 days. Not only is this a greener option, it also helps minimize the time you have to keep the iPad plugged into the wall for charging. Read More →
