Solar panels capture energy from the sun and turn it into electricity. Researchers are looking to nanotechnology to make panels that soak up more sunshine, so there’s more solar energy converted into electricity. Icy blades on wind turbines can dramatically cut their power output. Using nature-inspired nanotechnology, scientists are creating coatings that cause water to roll right off surfaces and reduce ice buildup. |
