Plants are good at doing what scientists and engineers have been struggling to do for decades: converting sunlight into stored energy, and doing so reliably day after day, year after year. Now some MIT scientists have succeeded in mimicking a key aspect of that process.
I have heard that an MIT solar project is a paint that can be applied to any metal surface, which converts it into a sun harvester, based on the way plants photosynthesize light. The above may be referring to that project.
