Back in 1989, every single morning a pink pelican named "Katta-kun" would fly all the way from Tokiwa Park (about 800 meters away) straight to Meiko Kindergarten. He didn't just visit, he'd walk right into the hallways, wander around the school, play with the kids, and even join in on their singing sessions 😆

This is transparent solar technology from Richard Lunt’s team at Michigan State University. It uses organic molecules that absorb only ultraviolet and near-infrared light to generate electricity, while letting almost all visible light through. It has already been installed in real-world applications. Its efficiency is lower than that of conventional photovoltaics, but it is genuinely workable and well suited to turning windows into power-generating surfaces.
