Global solar energy supplies are growing rapidly, with nearly 10 times as much solar capacity installed today as there was a decade ago. Leading the boom is the photovoltaic (PV) panel, which converts sunlight into electricity using semiconductors. The heat can drive steam turbines or engines to generate electricity around the clock.

A recent paper from the Pikul group at the University of Pennsylvania is exploring a much simpler approach to generating soliton waves: dominoes. Modifying the wave shape could also change the way energy or information is transferred through mechanical systems, which could be useful for mechanical metamaterials.
