MIT researchers have created ultra-thin solar panels with sticker backs allowing you to stick them anywhere you need immediate power. They deliver 18 times as much power per kilogram as traditional solar panels and can be used in more places with less set up. These ultra-portable panels can make the difference in remote regions where emergencies require more power. | Mashable

MIT engineers have developed ultralight fabric solar cells that can quickly and easily turn any surface into a power source. These durable, flexible solar cells, which are much thinner than a human hair, are glued to a strong, lightweight fabric, making them easy to install on a fixed surface. They can provide energy on the go as a wearable power fabric or be transported and rapidly deployed in remote locations for assistance in emergencies. They are one-hundredth the weight of conventional sola
