Flexible solar panel goes where silicon can't -- ScienceDaily

Solar modules less than half-a-millimeter thick are being created through a screen-printing process using low-temperature titanium oxide paste as part of a five-layer structure that creates thin, flexible panels similar to tiles in one's bathroom. These tiles can be combined together to cover large areas; an individual panel, roughly the size of a person's palm, provides about 75 milliwatts of power, meaning a panel the size of a standard sheet of paper could easily recharge a typical smart phone.
