Have you ever been frustrated (沮喪的) when left talking to yourself after your mobile phone battery runs out in the middle of a call? If yes, then here comes some good news. Scientists are now perfecting a way to recharge (充電) electrical equipment while on the move.

Researchers from the Netherlands, France and Portugal announced last week that they have developed very thin solar panels (太陽能板) that can be put on clothes. They can also be added to furniture and rooftops. They change light from the sun into electricity.

In about three years, you'll be able to wear a jacket that will recharge your phone as you walk. For camping fans, the development could lead to a tent which charges batteries all day so you can have light or music at night.

The basic technology of wearable solar panels is the same as that used for conventional (傳統(tǒng)的) solar panels. Pairs of sheets of semi-conducting silicon (半導(dǎo)體硅) are linked together to form the panel.

But scientists made them much thinner by using different silicon. At one micrometre, they are the same thickness as photographic film.

"This technology will make it easier for people to use clean energy sources," said Gerrit Kroesen, a physicist in the Netherlands who led the team of scientists.

But the thin panels are not as efficient as the thicker ones. While some solar panels now operate at an efficiency of about 20 per cent, the new flexible (柔韌的) panels are only 7 per cent efficient. But the scientists believe that this is worth accepting for a stronger and more useful panel.

But the thinner panel is cheaper. An A4 sized panel put onto the back of a jacket costs less than US$13. It could charge a cell phone during a summer walk in the countryside. As long as you stay within range of the transmitting masts (發(fā)射天線) that relay a call to the networks, phones will never again run out of power.

Welcome to Adventureland!

Everyone loves Adventureland! The Parks and Exhibitions were built for you to explore（探索）, enjoy, and admire their wonders. Every visit will be an unforgettable experience. You will go away enriched, longing to come back. What are you going to do this time?

The Travel Pavilion

Explore places you have never been to before, and experience different ways of life.

Visit the Amazon jungle（叢林）village, the Turkish market, the Tai floating market, the Berber mountain house and others. Talk to the people there who will tell you about their lives, and things they make. You can try making a carpet, making nets, fishing…

The Future Tower

This exhibition shows how progress will touch our lives. It allows us to look into the future and explore the cities of the next century and the way we’ll be living then. Spend some time in our space station and climb into our simulator（模擬裝置）for the Journey to Mars!

The Nature Park

This is not really one park but several.

In the Safari Park you can drive among African animals in one of our Range Cruisers: see lions, giraffes, elephants in the wild.  Move on to the Ocean Park to watch the dolphins and whales. And then there is still the Aviary to see…

The Pyramid

This is the center of Adventure land.  Run out of film, need some postcards and stamps? For all these things and many more, visit our underground shopping center. Come here for information and ideas too.
