Cornell University researchers are developing a flexible solar "skin" inspired by the way plants stretch and curve to capture sunlight. The new technology is designed to efficiently harness solar energy, and researchers say it could eventually be used on stadiums, skyscrapers, or retractable roofs. The solar skin is engineered to track the sun's rays, potentially increasing its energy output compared to current fixed systems. This project is part of Cornell’s ongoing research to drive innovation in renewable energy.
