Sunflower-inspired design could improve solar cells
Original: Solar cell meets sunflower
Researchers are drawing on the structure of sunflowers to develop better solar cell technology, according to Chemistry World. The idea is that mimicking the flower's natural arrangement could help panels capture sunlight more efficiently. It is the latest example of bio-inspired design being applied to renewable energy research.
Why now: Interest in bio-inspired renewable energy innovations is growing as demand for efficient solar technology rises.
