    Title is misleading considering current ones work in cloudy days as well, and this bacteria one is much less efficient but this is just a PoC. If this can be made easier to put on everything...

    If this can be made easier to put on everything (outside facing walls of houses, maybe cars etc.) it’ll be a good substitute to nuclear and/or fusion.

    They claim "0.686 milliamps", but at what voltage? Isn't a current without a voltage meaningless? Edit: Nice find though. Thanks for posting that link.

      It is but I’d guess it’s the same as the current panels.
