World's First Photovoltaic Circuit That Powers Itself

This light-powered circuit, the first in the world of its kind, likely represents a major technological breath through with repercussions that are hard to gauge. I can not say much more on this yet, but it seems promising there will be much more in the relative near term.

"For the first time, scientists have created a circuit that can power itself, as long as it's left in a beam of sunshine. Created by scientists from the University of Pennsylvania, the world's first photovoltaic circuit could eventually power a new line of consumer devices or even model the human brain."
