The term game-changing is a cliché, especially in technology and innovation circles, but the latest developments from Michigan State University have the potential to completely overhaul a multitude of commercial and industrial markets. The university has announced the creation of transparent solar panels – effectively windows that do the same job as the carbuncular, shiny bluey-grey units we’ve become used to. Except they’re (obviously) see-through. This not only fundamentally changes the rules for building eco-houses, but it also potentially reaches out into any technology and industrial sphere where power is required but the unwieldy giant solar panels of today’s world are cumbersome and impracticable.
