Generating Power on Earth From the Coldness of Deep Space

Cars That Think

On the rooftop of a quiet building, a set of panels cools the rooms within and keeps the lights on, removing heat and generating electricity using the coldness of the sky. As the technology improves, we see it enabling solar panels that work at night as well as day, powering remote sensors. Sound crazy? That was pretty cool—literally.
