The Chinese scientists hoping to use a space solar plant to power the world
Chinese scientists are developing a system to generate electricity in space using solar panels and mirrors, then transmit it wirelessly to Earth via microwaves. A team at Xidian University has successfully demonstrated transmitting power over 100 meters through the air. Their ultimate goal is to deploy this technology in orbit, 36,000 kilometers above Earth, to provide a continuous and sustainable energy source. AI
