When we imagine solar panels, we think of hard rectangular frames sitting on roofs, or spread out across expanses of deserts, but imagine flexible, bendy solar panels, supple enough to skim a curved roof, pliable enough to be rolled up and transported easily, lightweight enough to be a thin film for the roof of a tent, and portable enough to be rolled out to generate power for emergency relief operations or taken into remote areas.

Emeritus Investigators - Annual Report 2016

When it comes to science there’s often a focus on the new, the most current, the latest (research, funds, etc) and it can be easy to forget how success is built on the ongoing support of others.
