Sunshine in a Bottle – Danielle Fong 2/5

Most clean-energy stories start with batteries. Danielle Fong starts with thermodynamics and photons. Lightcell is her attempt to turn heat straight into light and usable power. In part two, she walks through energy density, the physics of light-emitting heat engines, and why the hard path might still be the only path that scales.
