Using a construction similar to the spider weaving of layers of flexible polymers, MIT researchers have created the world’s thinnest and lightest solar cells.. Their thickness does not exceed the thickness of a human hair, and one gram of such a web is capable of producing up to 6 watts..
The new solar cell is so thin and light that it can be applied to the surface of a soap bubble. With the prototype created by scientists, you can continue to work, introducing an element of solar energy into all possible things, including small gadgets..
Flexible solar cells are not an innovation in and of themselves. But 6W per gram of thin battery is a very significant result. They now produce several times more energy than any other glass solar panels (which, on average, generate about 15 watts of power per kilogram)..
