Folding light: Wrinkles and twists boost power from solar panels

"To create the folds, the researchers used ultraviolet light to harden a layer of liquid photographic adhesive, a process called curing."
A workholding solution that uses adhesive cured by ultraviolet light enables PGM to accurately fixture thin parts such as this magnesium casting without causing them to flex, which can happen when conventional mechanical clamps are used.
