This is one of those inventions that may change the way you see the tech world around you: flexible solar panels that can stick to any smooth surface like a vulgar sticker. Thanks to Stanford University may be able to get electricity from sunlight hitting just one of these fine panels to a window or directly in the case of your mobile phone.
Until now, traditional solar panels were difficult to install, besides being too thick to incorporate them theoretically portable gadgets that you carry in your pocket. Thanks to this new generation of panels this problem is solved and also has the advantage that you could even attach them to devices and objects with irregular surfaces. Beyond that, the technology used could also be applied to make electronic circuits and even flexible LCD screens that may contribute to future smartphones, computers or e-book readers you can stick on the wall of your room or carry rolled as a newspaper
