Researchers at the University of Toronto have come up with a new solar material that works by using the infrared spectrum to gather energy. It reportedly works at up to 6 times more efficiency of traditional solar cells and is said to be able to harness 30 percent of the sun's energy as opposed to the less efficient current plastic solar cells. Reports indicate the material also can be woven into or painted onto fabrics or surfaces. The material is planned to be used to power or charge various mobile devices like pda's, cell phones, and various other devices.
