The UCLA team describes a new kind of polymer solar cell (PSC) that produces energy by absorbing mainly infrared light, not visible light, making the cells nearly 70% transparent to the human eye. They made the device from a photoactive plastic that converts infrared light into an electrical current.

So... they could make sunglasses out of them, which could power your personal devices.

The could also possibly replace your cellphone screen with this and recharge your phone as you’re using it.
