Sunlight Straight To Power

Researchers at the Univ. of Michigan have discovered a way to convert sunlight directly to electric power without traditional semiconductor based solar cells using magnetic effects of photons that has been thought by established physics to be insignificant.

Light at the right intensity traveling through a non-conducting material can generate magnetic effects that are 100 million times stronger that previously expected. This article states that this is very early major news.

solar power is not inimical, neither is it detrimental to our environment. So how does solar power work? Solar power works through photovoltaics. As the alternative power solution. If you build the solar panel at the roof of your home, it becomes part of the house.
