ScienceDaily: The materials in most of today's residential rooftop solar panels can store energy from the sun for only a few microseconds at a time. A new technology developed by chemists at UCLA is capable of storing solar energy for up to several weeks -- an advance that could change the way scientists think about designing solar cells. The findings are published June 19 in the journal Science. The new design is inspired by the way that plants generate energy through photosynthesis. 'Biology does a...
