California based firm "Solideas.com" has developed a solar (photovoltaic, or PV) cell kit, using natural dyes extracted from berries. This solar cell kit provides an interdisciplinary context for students learning the basic principles of biological extraction, chemistry, physics, environmental science and electron transfer.

These solar cell kits are based on work on nanocrystalline dye-sensitized solar cells that use an organic dye to absorb incoming light to produce excited electrons.

A COMPANY which manufactures next-generation solar technology has signed a research and development agreement with Cardiff University. Cardiff-based G24i has reached a deal with the university’s school of engineering that will allow it to access the facilities. G24i’s Dye Sensitised Thin Film combines innovative material science and nanotechnology to generate renewable power in a process similar to photosynthesis.

Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF)
held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, May 13-19.2007

Judged on their creative ability, scientific thought, as well as their thoroughness, skill and clarity, students at Intel ISEF compete in 14 scientific categories with the majority of projects entered in the environmental sciences medicine and health categories. More than 1,500 students representing more than 51 countries compete at Intel ISEF, making it the world's largest pre-university science and engineering fair.
