The latest teenager to wow the world of science is 13-year-old Aidan Dwyer from Long Island, New York-a young man who's made a startling advance in the burgeoning field of solar energy. Dwyer spoke about his discovery that has applications for solar panels at a recent PopTech.
Solar cells can be arranged into large groupings called arrays. These arrays, composed of many thousands of individual cells, can function as central electric power stations, converting sunlight into electrical energy for distribution to industrial, commercial, and residential.
That flow of energy enables the device Assaworrarit and his colleagues created - an ordinary solar panel outfitted with a thermoelectric generator - to generate a small amount of electricity from the slight difference in temperature between the ambient air and the surface of a solar.

Satellites, the unsung heroes of modern communication and observation, rely primarily on solar energy, converted into electricity by photovoltaic cells, to power their operations.
