Nicole Kuepper, a 23-year-old PhD student from UNSW's School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering, has developed photovoltaic (solar) technology involving a simple inkjet printing process. The work could bring electricity to 2 billion of the world's poorest people - and has already two prestigious Eureka Prizes for Nicole.
Quote: "And so we started thinking about simple process we can use such as low temperature firing conditions, inkjet printing because they are very simple and easy to understand. And we came up with basically a new way of making solar cells that is cheap, low-tech, low temperature and able to be done in some of the least developed countries."

Client 2) CHARLES DARWIN
Charles Robert Darwin (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist who showed that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors, and proposed the scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection.

Client 3) STEPHEN HAWKING
Sir Stephen William Hawking, (born 8 January 1942) is a British theoretical physicist, whose world-renowned scientific career spans over 40 years. Hawking's key scientific works to date have included providing, with Roger Penrose, theorems regarding singularities in the framework of general relativity, and the theoretical prediction that black holes should emit radiation, which is today known as hawking radiation.
Quote: "I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We're created life in our own image."

(Darwin & Hawking)
Fools’ experiments are like computer viruses that should count as life, saying something about human nature where the only form of life we have always been making so far is purely destructive.
