We are increasingly dependent on electrical technologies for various needs, from using mobile phones to charging electric cars.
However, energy depletion and the limitations of batteries pose significant challenges, forcing users to recharge their devices.
This new technology will revolutionize how we use electrical devices. (Illustration: Techno-Science).
Lebanese researcher Raja Yazigi may have found a solution to this issue through a significant breakthrough in the field of photovoltaic cells.
This technology revolutionizes how we charge our phones and cars, making it unnecessary. Yazigi has discovered a way to produce solar panels capable of operating continuously, even at night, without the need for storage batteries.
He utilizes a new type of material that provides better photonic capabilities.
“During the day, the Earth receives energy from the Sun in the form of light waves. At night, it re-emits energy in the form of infrared waves. This new material can harvest energy both day and night,” he explains.
Alloy of multiple atoms
Although producing this new material is quite costly, Raja Yazigi believes that in the future, it will not be more expensive than the photovoltaic cells used in current solar panels.
During his research, he discovered a multi-atom alloy that can capture infrared waves at night to generate electricity.
Raja Yazigi hopes that within the next few years, this technology will benefit the entire world.
If successful, countries could use this new solar energy battery technology to produce electricity continuously, and users will greatly benefit by using it for household electrical devices or vehicles such as electric cars.
The scientist is calling for funding from energy companies to test and implement this technology in real life.
