Have you ever dreamt of slipping on a pair of jeans that could power your ipod?  How about plugging your PDA into the frames of your Ray-Ban’s?  You may soon have the opportunity to do either, as scientists are finding new ways to convert solar radiation directly into electrical energy.  Traditionally solar panels, or more specifically photovoltaic cells, are made of rigid silicon wafers.  It has recently been discovered that photovoltaic cells can also be created from organic compounds, allowing them to spread across flexible substrates.  This finding is setting the solar energy industry ablaze, and products such as light-harvesting clothes and energy generating glass tinting may not be too far in the future.
