Photo via lifecreations Researchers at Cornell University have found a seemingly simple solution to creating more efficient solar cells. It turns out that particular molecules found in blue jeans and some ink dyes can be used in a process for assembling a structure called “covalent organic framework” or COF, which can help create cheaper, flexible solar cells. While organic materials haven’t proven very easy to use so far for creating solar cells, the researchers are finding that these molecules found in every-day materials might be just w… Read the full story on TreeHugger
