Paper snow flakes and solar panels

Jordan D'Eri and Charlie Heck discuss the intersection of art and science through kirigami, an ancient Japanese paper-cutting art. They explore how kirigami is being used to create lightweight solar cells that can track the sun, offering a significant improvement in energy capture. The design is almost as effective as traditional motorized trackers but much lighter, making it suitable for rooftops and vehicles. The video concludes with a humorous exchange about art and science.

In what ways do researchers believe the new design could impact the cost of solar electricity?
