Since we seem to be collecting cute, smart Aussies, we should invite
this gal.
Hey yeah, let's invite her. Brilliant work though. If this vision of solar cells created through a cheaper and less destructive process works out commercially, it could very well be the answer the world has needed.
Well done Nicole!
She has developed a simple, cheap way of producing solar cells in a pizza oven that could eventually bring power and light to the 2 billion people in the world who lack electricity.
Amazing coincidence - my latest work involves using a solar cell oven to bake pizza.
There's a company in town that is doing development on a variety of solar technology things... one of their latest products is window tinting for homes and cars that is actally very thin solar-panel film. Cool stuff.
Hooray! Now even the poorest backward nations can have electric-chairs, and the uncontacted tribes of South America can watch Oprah. ;)
I second what Aliantha said --- this could be <i>the</i> answer. Cheap power, plentiful power, clean unpolluting power with no waste products.
