To head off disastrous climate change, we need to radically transform the modern energy system. We must largely move beyond the use of fire, the first and most important of inventions. The core energy technology used by humans has always involved, in one form or another, burning things up. To a large extent, combatting climate change will mean bringing this long era to an end.

Researchers have used materials known as transition metal dichalcogenides to make ultrathin, flexible solar cells with a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 5.1% – a record for cells made from this type of material. Though this efficiency is far below that of standard silicon solar cells, the super-light nature of the new cells means they could be employed in mobile applications such as self-powered wearable devices and sensors as well as drones and lightweight electric vehicles.
