Researchers in England have created an "ultra-thin" photovoltaic coating that harvests solar energy on the go.

If incorporated into smartphones, backpacks, and even electric vehicles, the coating could offer instant, grid-free power.

The coating is just over one micron thick— about 70 times thinner than a human hair.

It could mitigate the world's reliance on massive solar farms.
