Peel-and-stick solar panels: Decal-like application process allows thin, flexible solar panels to be applied to virtually any surface

The new process involves a unique silicon, silicon dioxide and metal "sandwich." First, a 300-nanometer film of nickel (Ni) is deposited on a silicon/silicon dioxide (Si/SiO2) wafer. Thin-film solar ...
