    You so often hear of ''potential scientific breakthroughs" and then. . .nothing. . .silence. . .
    The last exciting thing i heard about solar was printing them on the plastic used for Australian bank notes in 2009.

    Where is that idea now?
    Are scientists just touting/carpetbagging for more research grants and so give press releases in the hope of more funding?

    PS
    looks like CSIRO is still working on polymer solar cells. https://www.csiro.au/Outcomes/Climate/Reducing-GHG/OPV-question-and-answer.aspx
