Can Solar Roads Power Our Cities? Exploring Promise & Pitfalls | Science by Rao Can Solar Roads Power Our Cities? Exploring the Promise and Pitfalls of Solar-Powered Infrastructure What if the very streets we drive on could power our homes? Imagine a world where every road, highway, and parking lot not only transports people—but also generates clean, renewable electricity. This is the ambitious vision behind **solar roads**: an innovative concept that promises to revolutionize both energy production and urban infrastructure. But can solar roads truly power our cities, or are they more science fiction than reality? --- 🔌 What Are Solar Roads? Solar roads are designed with multiple layers to withstand traffic while converting sunlight into electricity. Solar roads are surfaces embedded with **photovoltaic (PV) cells**, much like traditional solar panels. These cells are prote...

Water-Powered Vehicles: Dream or the Next Big Breakthrough? | Science by Rao Water-Powered Vehicles: Dream or the Next Big Breakthrough? Imagine a world where your car runs on water. Is it possible? Introduction: A Future Fueled by Water? Imagine a world where the fuel for your car flows freely from your tap. No petrol stations, no emissions, no endless trips to the pump—just water. It sounds revolutionary, even utopian. But is it scientifically possible? Can we truly power vehicles using water? And if so, why aren’t we doing it already? This article explores the real science, existing technologies, and future possibilities of using water—more precisely, hydrogen from water—as a clean fuel for transportation. 1. The Myth vs. The Reality Let’s be clear: no vehicle runs purely on water. Some viral claims and conspirac...
