A group of researchers at the French company Dracula Technologies has developed a new technology called LAYER , a flexible solar cell made of folding plastic sheets, which works to capture the surrounding light, whether it is sunlight or other. By placing a layer on the back of the phone or placing it on the back case and then capturing and connecting the solar energy to the phone.
The flexible solar cells do not take too long to print. They require only an hour of time and can be printed in different colors and customized at the level of the shape. Researchers at Dracula Technologies are currently finding ways to reduce the time it takes to charge phones. Coming soon for use.
"This new technology will limit a radical change in people's lives , " said one researcher in an interview with New Scientist . " Imagine printing these on a shirt and using it to charge the phone anywhere." In the next few months we will be able to charge a smartphone for the first time.
