So apparently there's solar paint now. From the Scientific American blog:
"The paint contains nanoparticles of titanium dioxide—which gives
whiteness to sunscreen and powdered sugar. The particles are coated with
semiconducting cadmium nanocrystals, and mixed with water
and alcohol, to create a golden yellow paste. The researchers dubbed
the product “Sunbelievable.” They brushed it onto a conductive glass
electrode, and attached that to a counter-electrode, to create a
complete circuit."
So can I paint myself with this stuff and basically make my own energy like a plant? Apparently it comes in any color. Let's paint the world green.
Happy New Year, spaceship Earth.
