Can a transparent surface absorb sunlight?

ArabiaWeather.com - Muhammad Salameh - It is well known that solar panels designed to absorb sunlight tend to have a dark color, and it is also known that the reason for this is due to the fact that dark colors have a greater ability to absorb light, unlike light colors that have high light transmittance.

But that there are transparent panels that have the property of absorbing sunlight, this is what causes us to be surprised!

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has made this innovation, as it produced a coating made of organic molecules that absorb ultraviolet and infrared rays of the sun, and the transparent surface coated with this material will remain transparent, and with a more detailed scientific description, when photons arrive on the surface, they excite electrons that flow on A form of electric current that supplies electrical energy to devices.

This innovation means that you can put paint on anything and turn it into an electrical source, whether transparent surfaces on phones, or even home windows and car windows.
