13-Year-Old Makes Solar Power Breakthrough by Harnessing the Fibonacci Sequence
While most 13-year-olds spend their free time playing video games or cruising Facebook, one 7th grader was trekking through the woods uncovering a mystery of science. After studying how trees branch in a very specific way, Aidan Dwyer created a solar cell tree that produces 20-50% more power than a uniform array of photovoltaic panels. His impressive results show that using a specific formula for distributing solar cells can drastically improve energy generation. The study earned Aidan a provisional U.S patent - it’s a rare find in the field of technology and a fantastic example of how biomimicry can drastically improve design…

Smart Street Lights Know How To Bloom
The concept Sustainable City Lights is an intelligent lighting system that harnesses solar and wind energy for itself. These are lampposts intuitive enough to beam up the LEDs only when people are around, else emit a soft glow.
Adapting itself to the environment, Sustainable City Lights mimic the opening and closing of a flower bud while harvesting the energies. Any surplus accumulated goes back to the main grid for powering other city things.
