William Yuan: A Young Idea for an Energy Problem

Innovation can happen from young ideas. William Yuan is proof of that with his creative approach in harvesting solar energy:

“…Solar technology is improving all the time, but one 12-year-old boy may have the key to making solar panels that can harness 500 times the light of a traditional solar cell. William Yuan is a seventh grader in Oregon whose project, titled “A Highly-Efficient 3-Dimensional Nanotube Solar Cell for Visible and UV Light,” may change the energy industry and make solar energy far easier to harness and distribute.”

If anyone questions the importance of early education to stimulate young minds, remember to mention William Yuan. Kudos to a forward thinking, young scientist.
