What is the future of this technology? What advancements are scientists trying to come up with and what will we want them to do?
Solar Panels
a. Does the device transform one type of energy to another (i.e. an automobile engine transforms the chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy that results in the motion of the car)
b. What sub assemblies and components does the technology contain and how do they work? One approach you can consider taking here is to choose some elemental particle that the technology works with and describe how it is processed by the technology.
c. What enabling technologies were/are required to make this new technology possible? One thing you’re bound to find is that modern scientists “stand on the shoulders of giants”- their work is based on the work of the scientists that came before them. What relevant discoveries were needed to make this new technology possible?
