🚨 A SOLAR TECHNOLOGY THAT COULD CHANGE THE WAY WE USE WINDOWS 🚨
Michigan State University researcher Richard Lunt and his team have worked on transparent luminescent solar concentrators—technology designed to absorb wavelengths of light largely invisible to the human eye while allowing visible light to pass through. ☀️🪟
The concept could potentially turn windows and other transparent surfaces into energy-harvesting systems without making them look like traditional solar panels. If successfully developed and deployed at scale, innovations like this could open exciting new possibilities for renewable energy. 🌍⚡
Claims that Lunt is being targeted for assassination or that energy groups are trying to kill him are not supported by credible evidence. The real story is already fascinating: scientists are exploring new ways to integrate solar technology into everyday surfaces.

A modern piece of hydraulic engineering inside one of the world’s oldest water-management cultures.
This is the zig-zag spillway of Pimburaththewa Wewa, also known as Pimburattewa Tank, in Sri Lanka.
The reservoir sits near Aralaganwila, close to Maduru Oya National Park, and its striking spillway was built in the 1980s as part of the Mahaweli Development Project.
The unusual zig-zag form increases the spillway’s edge length, helping release excess water more evenly when the reservoir reaches capacity.
