Based on a belief solar cells should be integrated with everyday products and surfaces, Ubiquitous Energy has developed the first transparent solar cell. The film can be applied to any surface to generate power. Imagine phones and tablets that can be recharged from light and skyscrapers that can use windows as solar energy sources.

Irish researchers have discovered a new form of light. Light travels in a straight line but also rotates around its axis. It was believed the angular momentum of these photos was a multiple of Planck’s constant, which sets the scale for quantum effects. The researchers theorized certain quantum effects slowed the angular momentum of these [...]
