Scientists, driven by relentless determination, have shattered the conventional confines of solar energy harnessing. Their remarkable research, conducted jointly by the Universities of Surrey and Swansea, has unlocked the potential to generate low-cost, lightweight solar panels that capture the sun s power from the cosmic frontier. It s a development that carries the potential to revolutionize our planet s energy needs and, quite literally, bring clean energy back to Earth.
In a significant legislative move, the US Congress has addressed the concept of space-based solar power (SBSP) for the first time since the 1970s. This recognition comes as the world seeks new sources of clean and sustainable energy to combat climate change and achieve carbon neutrality.
