Wearables: A boost for flexible solar cells

Luminescent solar concentrators are sheets that collect light at various wavelengths and re-emit it at a wavelength better matched to a solar cell. They can be created in various geometries – for example a flat sheet can be arranged to collect light over its large surface, and then re-emit it from one edge to a ...
