They made the device from a photoactive plastic that converts infrared light into an electrical current.
ENGADGET: UCLA creates transparent solar cell, dreams of current generating windows
The mirrors reflect light into the etched glass, producing a greenish, satiny wall surface.
Bob Dotson is back now to shine a little more light into history's shadows.
Only when they are seriously out of pocket do investors shine a light into companies' darkest corners.
Solar panels that heat pools or power handheld calculators rely on silicon semiconductors to turn light into electrons.
Detectors at the carpet's edge convert the light into electrical signals which are then analysed by a computer.
Iceland spar is a form of calcite that splits light into two beams.
ECONOMIST: How Norsemen found their way round in cloudy weather
Although the snowfall was light into Friday afternoon, the forecast appeared to shape the normal activities of New Yorkers.
Is he the man to shine a light into what should be one of Germany's most profitable business niches?
That means a smaller area of cell can be used to convert a given amount of light into electricity.
With followup spectroscopic measurements that broke up the light into its constituent wavelengths, the astronomers identified one very faraway galaxy.
In this case the operator would wear goggles that convert infra-red light into an image that the eye can perceive.
This involves shining a light into the brain to discern how much activity is there, and examining the corresponding oxygen level.
The road and the mountains run out at the Cap de Creus lighthouse which sends flashes of light into the dusk.
They are too bright, too sensitive and often badly angled, sending unwanted light into neighbouring windows and the night sky, say critics.
Entries in the Diary have allowed historians to cast light into these painful rows and also to see areas where he was ahead of his time.
It also shines a light into the sort of systemic, cultural patterns that sustain poverty in places where people simply have no better opportunities.
In addition, there is a spectrograph that will slice light into its component colours so scientists can discern something of the chemistry of far-flung phenomena.
It would please the few misguided MPs who still imagine that the press was wrong to shine light into the murky world of parliamentary expenses.
But now the simple invention of a cathode ray tube, transforming light into electrons, registering their impact on the magnetic tape, had torn the curtain away.
It has now been shown that it is of Iceland spar - a form of calcite known for its property of diffracting light into two separate rays.
When working, it splits light into its component colours, to reveal information about the chemical content, temperature and motion of planets, comets, stars, interstellar gas and galaxies.
The cases against Cardona and Reta -- both are in prison serving long prison sentences for murder -- shed new light into the workings of the drug cartels.
These implants convert light into electric current that stimulates local retinal neurons, which then send signals to the brain, meaning no wires are necessary to stimulate the retina.
When illuminated, these "opsin" proteins change the flow of electrically charged ions within the cell, to help the cell turn light into energy or as a sensory cue.
WSJ: Scientists Cast Light Onto Roots of Illness Deep in the Brain
The essence of his architecture can be summed up at the Kimbell: 16 parallel vaults supported on a beautifully articulated concrete frame allow perfect natural light into the humanely scaled galleries.
One example the company has developed is a crystal fibre that squeezes light into such a narrow core that the intensity of the light modifies the optical properties of the glass itself.
The Nicmos sees even farther than the ACS - to the most distant galaxies yet recorded - because the expanding Universe has stretched their light into the near-infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
