UK researchers claim to have proved the viability wearable photovoltaic devices as an integral part of regular clothing. A solar-powered fabric textile was created by embedding micro crystalline silicon solar cells within the fibers of a textile through very thing copper wires. The scientists claim that the novel device can maintain its performance even after 15 domestic machine wash cycles, 25 hand wash cycles, and 6000 abrasion cycles.Scientists from Nottingham Trent University have developed a novel and wearable flexible photovoltaic device, which they claim is extremely wash-durable. The solar-powered ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
