A new way to use the sun’s energy

We hear more and more about the small – nanotechnology – that’s enabling solar power to become effective. It does so by allowing solar cells to be sprayed on like paint, inexpensively. Also, unlike conventional solar cells, the nano-solar cells will capture invisible infrared rays, enabling efficiencies in converting sunlight to electricity of up to 30%.

Now comes the big. A bold project has begun in the Australian Outback to build a huge tower that will capture the sun’s energy in a far more efficient way than conventional solar cells or windmills. It’s as simple as it is awesome.
