Is nothing sacred these days when it comes to renewable energy? I guess not, which is why this Solar-powered Tie was conjured by a group of boffins at the North Carolina State University which relies on digital textile printing to help solar panels be integrated into everyday clothing items like neck ties and jackets. Heck, the tie even comes with a hidden pocket for you to store your device, but with the added weight I hope you won’t end up with a permanent hunch just to keep that large PSP juiced over the day. The main drawback would be the flexibility, or rather, the lack of it since solar panels are notoriously hard to tie in knots.
