9th iCeMS Café: Solar Batteries of the Future

8th iCeMS Cafe

The second of three iCeMS Cafés to be held this autumn!

The burning heat of the sun seemed to last forever this summer.
Have you ever wondered if all of those rays could be put to good use?

Plants make very good use of the sun's energy.
Humans are also now trying to make direct use of sunlight.

But...
Will we someday be able to use it anywhere we please?
Can it be made to look more ―fashionable?

Behold: the future solar battery work of the Imahori team.

Has your curiosity been sparked?
If so, please join us at the next iCeMS Café!

(Please note that this event will be conducted in Japanese.)
