Stanford Generates Electricity at Night
Solar energy at nighttime? Sounds counterintuitive but its the exciting future kickstarted by a team of engineers at Stanford University!
An electrical engineer and their colleagues at Stanford created a solar cell. However, what set this solar cell apart from the traditional devices we’ve seen in the past, is its thermoelectric generator (we know – it’s a mouthful!). This generator uses the heat difference between the solar panel and the air around it and turns it into electricity.
This is an
