Book 27, Question 149

Could crystals help solve future energy problems?

Scientists are looking at crystals for cleaner energy.

New solar cells use crystals called perovskites that might be cheaper to make. Better battery materials are crystals that store and release energy more safely. Other researchers explore crystals that turn waste heat into electricity. These ideas are still being tested, but crystals may help power the future.
