Window and solar panel at the same time

Everything looks bright in the field of solar energy, poised to eventually take over (along with other renewables and hydrogen as portable fuel and energy storage method) the dirty and dangerous energy sources of the past centuries, and now even a little more: researchers from UCLA have developed a new biofilm that does not just work as solar panel but is also transparent like glass, allowing it to be implemented to windows even more aesthetically than before.
