I personally think almost every one of these advances should be covered by the media. I dislike the characteristic journalist euphoria that always accompanies the article, but it's always clear enough where fiction enters. I can always filter it out. And if they didn't hit the mainstream news channels, I probably would hear about it much later. Incidentally, any technology that can obviate the need for solar panels to tilt towards the sun will vast improve maintenance, installation, and probably manufacturing costs. The tilting super structure accounts for a large percentage of the cost in a solar power station (often in excess of 30%, according to DOE studies).
