Researchers Create Solar Cells So Thin And Light They Float On A Soap Bubble

MIT's new solar cells are the thinnest ever produced and could be embedded in everything from paper to spacecraft.

Researchers at MIT have created the thinnest and lightest solar cells ever made, according to MIT News. The solar cells are so thin and light they can sit on a soap bubble without popping it. Their physical size means that they have the potential to be used in everything from paper to clothing to air- and spacecraft. In wearables, the solar cells are so light they would be virtually unnoticeable by the wearer.
