in the days leading up to today’s conference on new energy materials to fight climate change, we decided it was finally time to put pen to paper and sketch out an idea we had for self-replicating solar cells.
dropped into the Sahara, these miniature robots would mine sand to produce adjacent cells, then replicate exponentially, eventually covering hundreds of square kilometers. the discussions at the Royal Society promise to be a bit more realistic, but no less interesting. you can read our updates here or via Twitter
