The innovative solar technology "would change the
equation for energy," according to UC researchers.
A pair of University of Cincinnati researchers has seen the
light – a bright, powerful light – and it just might change the future of how
building interiors are brightened.
In fact, that light comes directly from the sun. And with
the help of tiny, electrofluidic cells and a series of open-air
"ducts," sunlight can naturally illuminate windowless work spaces
deep inside office buildings and excess energy can be harnessed, stored and
directed to other applications.
