12 Year Old Invents New Form Of Alternative Energy
When most people think of scientists creating new forms of energy, an old man in a white lab coat probably comes to mind. Most people don’t think of a 12 year-old boy. William Yuan created a 3D solar cell that can absorb visible and UV light. He figures that these can provide 500 times more light absorption than the solar cells that are out right now.
If your child invented something as amazing as this, would you make him focus on science or let him continue to have an average childhood?
