·1 views

Engineers have developed a new solar panel design modeled after the structure of bee honeycombs. The three-dimensional concave design works by redirecting reflected light back into the panel rather than letting it escape.

The flexible metamaterial construction also allows the panels to be fitted onto curved surfaces and vehicles. This breakthrough could extend solar energy applications well beyond conventional rooftop installations.
