Protective glass for smartphone charging

Power banks are a thing of the past: Koreans have created a protective glass for smartphone charging.

The latest development for smartphones was created by engineers at the National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) in South Korea.

The protective glass not only protects the screen of smartphones, but also charges the phone with light.

In addition to gadgets, the technology can be integrated into the construction and automotive industries.

Transparent photovoltaic cells on windows and glass of buildings will help reduce dependence on traditional energy sources.

Also, such technologies will extend the life of electronic devices and electric cars.
