, a Cambridge startup specializing in flexible electronics, has signed a one year contract with the US Army to develop and test solar cell technology for military use. The technology will take the form of wearable solar panels built into military personnel's clothing to power up America’s GIs, while decreasing the number of battery packs lugged around. MC10 specializes in re-engineering rigid electronics into flexible forms and has made significant strides in creating human vital stat sensors which have been successfully applied to surgical patients and athletes alike. The sensors are typically a 1-inch flexible patch that tracks temperature, heart rate and hydration. The company has been looking at solar power since early 2011, when the first flexible solar grids were demoed by company's co-founder John Rogers. For the necessary flexibility required for solar powered clot...
