Viruses Can Be Genetically Modified To Transmit Energy
Plants absorb sunlight and convert it to energy with nearly perfect efficiency—none of the energy goes to waste. Electrical engineers are always striving for that kind of efficiency, but nowhere is it more pronounced than in solar panels. Even the best of these can only convert about 44 percent of the light it absorbs into […]
