A printable, flexible, organic solar cell

Title:
A printable, flexible, organic solar cell
Speaker:
Hannah Bürckstümmer
Description:

Unlike the solar cells you're used to seeing, organic photovoltaics are made of compounds that are dissolved in ink and can be printed and molded using simple techniques. The result is a low-weight, flexible, semi-transparent film that absorbs the energy of the sun. Hannah Bürckstümmer shows us how they're made -- and how could change the way we power the world.
