New Solar Powered Circuits Could Change Touchscreen Gadgets Forever
by AlwaysGreen - February 5th, 2010. Tagged as: Environmental Impact, Going Green, Green Science, Solar Power.Another advancement in technology may one day make our personal electronic gadgets even more Green and energy efficient.
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed, created, and constructed the world’s first solar powered circuit.
For a few years now the only way to have a solar powered personal device was with a external device or chunky backs full of low-grade solar technology. But these new solar power circuit could essentially turn any touchscreen or optical device into both an electrical charger and a computer chip.
The technology still has a long way to go before it becomes viable and the photovoltaic cell can produce enough energy; but, just the fact that there has been a new technological breakthrough such as this can only lead to even more and greater possibilities.
