"Solar power technologies are the focus of voluminous research efforts, and now a team of scientists at the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd. are developing a prototype 3D printed “tree” which also uses a novel gravure and screen printing process to collect solar energy. The trees are capable of harvesting solar energy indoors or outdoors, storing it and creating enough electric power to run small devices such as mobile phones and LED lighting."
