Scientists at Oxford University’s Physics Department have developed a groundbreaking technology that could transform how we generate solar electricity, offering a departure from the reliance on traditional silicon-based solar panels. Their innovation introduces a new material that can be coated onto everyday objects like cars, mobile phones, and even buildings, providing a versatile and efficient way to capture solar energy. For the first time, a light-absorbing material thin and flexible enough to coat nearly any surface has been developed. This new material uses a multi-junction design, whic…
