And since the stamping process dispenses with the harsh chemicals and high temperatures ordinarily required for the fabrication of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), it could allow them to incorporate a wider range of materials. ...

Dye-sensitized cells get a double boost from nanowires and optical fiber. Dye-sensitized solar cells are flexible and cheap to make, but they tend to be inefficient at converting light into electricity. One way to boost the performance of any solar cell is to increase the surface area available to incoming light. So a group of researchers at Georgia Tech has made dye-sensitized solar cells with a much higher effective surface area by wrapping the cells around optical fibers.
