Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, have succeeded in creating a system that can capture and store solar energy for up to 18 years and can produce electricity when connected to a thermoelectric generator. The implications of this breakthrough are major: with it, solar energy can be stored and sent anywhere in the world then converted into electricity on demand. More:
