Scientific Challenges in Sustainable Energy Technology
Abstract:
An example in production is the ink jet printed flexible film from the G24 Innovations factory in the UK where they utilize the latest breakthrough in material science and nanotechnology creating a new class of advanced solar cells which are the closest mankind has come to replicating nature's photosynthesis. This technology platform will birth a wide range of new products - from those used by consumers every day, such as mobile telephones and laptops, to more cutting-edge products ranging from sensors, water purification and LED lighting systems, portable tent structures and building products.
