Thanks to my friend
edric00, we have yet another major discovery for carbon nanotubes! Sadly this one somehow got past my filters but my friend caught it and here it is: Self-assembling solar panels!
Scientists discover tiny solar panels that create themselves. (Kurzweilai) Lessy sciency explinatory article Basically we've found that carbon nanotubes and several other types of materials "react" naturally to form phospholipids, which convert sunlight to electricity. This means that, if we can make it into large quantities, we can create self-healing solar panels.
Yay science!
