Butterflies heat up the field of solar research

31 julio 2015

The humble butterfly could hold the key to unlocking new techniques to make solar energy cheaper and more efficient, pioneering new research has shown. By mimicking the v-shaped posture adopted by Cabbage White butterflies to heat up their flight muscles before take-off, the amount of power produced by solar panels can increase by almost 50 per cent, scientists say.img src=»http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/1nnhtRO2klw» height=»1″ width=»1″ alt=»»/
