‘Major discovery’ from MIT primed to unleash solar revolution

Scientists mimic essence of plants’ energy storage system

Until now, solar power has been a daytime-only energy source, because storing extra solar energy for later use is prohibitively expensive and grossly inefficient. With today’s announcement, MIT researchers have hit upon a simple, inexpensive, highly efficient process for storing solar energy.

If this discovery can be mass produced, it will change everything from power distribution to fighting for foreign oil. Go MIT!
