CTRL+P: Printing Australia's largest solar cells
Canberra, Australia (SPX) Jun 06, 2013
Scientists have produced the largest flexible, plastic solar cells in Australia - 10 times the size of what they were previously able to - thanks to a new solar cell printer that has been installed at CSIRO. The printer has allowed researchers from the Victorian Organic Solar Cell Consortium to print organic photovoltaic cells the size of an A3 sheet of paper. According to materials scientist Dr Scott Watkins, printing cells on such a large scale opens up a huge range of possibilities for pi ... read more
