Sounds cool, but using the hotness of our sun sounds more realistic

Seems interesting as a supplemental source of energy though.

This was a very accessible read as a nonacademic. Really interesting to read how these technologies work and were developed.

Passive cooling is a much-needed area of study as the planet warms, and it stands to reason further development there could spark additional discoveries on the electrical front.
