MIT Develops Ultra Thin, Light Weight, Efficient Solar Cells (blastingnews.com)

MarkWhittington writes: Researchers at MIT have developed a gossamer thin solar cell that is made of layers of flexible polymers. The cell is so light that it can rest on a soap bubble without breaking it. As a bonus, the thin, light cells puts out 400 times more power than the standard, glass covered photovoltaic cells, at about six watts per gram. According to the researchers, this new development could help power the next generation of portable electronic devices.

Re:How damage resistant is it?

Space craft should also use oil and coal, like Jesus would want. Jesus despises renewables, and anyone advocating them will go to Hell, after they've been thoroughly beaten by God-fearing fossil fuel advocates. Remember, God loves fossil fuels, and will make advocates of other energy sources pay for eternity.
