Scientists design solar panel that can produce electricity at night

Solar power without the sun?

Let's connect the dots.

The Biden Administration is pushing for a green economy with renewable energy technologies like electric vehicles and solar panels.

Now scientists at Stanford University have designed a solar panel that can produce electricity at night, creating a 24-hour source of green power.

The Stanford team used a device that acts like a hydroelectric dam, producing electricity from the heat that flows from the warmer nighttime air to the cooler panel.
