For crying out loud can we stop with making potential future income based on projected outcome price a loss, if the price has to drop?

A loss is when you're net negative. Not when you MAKE LESS THAN YOU WANTED.

MIT Making Super Efficient Origami Solar Panels 140

Posted by timothy on Thursday April 08, 2010 @02:35PM from the leaping-frogs-would-be-cool dept.

ByronScott writes "Could the next solar panels be in the shapes of origami cranes? They could be if MIT power engineering professor Jeffrey Grossman has his say. Standard flat solar panels are only optimized to capture sunlight at one point of the sun's trajectory — otherwise they need automated tracking systems to follow the sun. But Grossman found that folded solar cell systems could produce constant power throughout the day sans tracking and his new designs are up to two and a half times more efficient per comparative length and width than traditional flat arrays."
