ANU researchers receive $2.1 million Defence grant
Elongate Solar Cells for Energy Generation: Researchers have won a $2.1 million Defence CTD grant to develop highly flexible solar panels with high efficiency under both normal and subdued light and with high power-to-weight ratios. These solar cells would allow soldiers to generate power in the field and reduce the need for batteries. The technology may be suitable for incorporation into wearable textiles and for use in a wide range of consumer and outdoor hand-held electronic devices to charge batteries. Read more...
