Solar cells that can also store energy were revealed last October by the team from Ohio State University (OSU). The design was pretty unique- it had three electrodes instead of four, a lithium plate base, thin sheet of carbon […]

It’s very simple to do, all you have to have is a solar battery (you can buy that cheaply from a scrap store), a bottle, a toy with wheels you don’t need anymore, and a little bit of super glue. It […]
