CANBERRA http://www.cheapairmax90essential.com/ , July 21 (Xinhua) -- Australian scientists have successfully used household sticky tape to help build ultra-thin and lightweight solar cells that could improve the way solar energy is collected.

Solar cells are used to collect energy from the sun to convert into electrical power for portable devices such as lights, radios and computers.

Scientists at the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra used sticky tape to create single-atom thick layers, termed phosphorene, in the construction of the cells. This was done in the same simple way as the Nobel Prize winning discovery of graphene.
