Solar power is quickly making great leaps in terms of the amount of power it solar cells are able to generate. And National Geographic Emerging Explorer and nanoscientist Xiaolin Zheng is working to broaden solar power's ability to transform our lives. Zheng has created sticky solar cells that adhere to the backs of gadgets and can help "charge the chargers," allowing us to power phones and GPS devices from the woods, for example. She expects these devices to hit the market within a few years.
