A Filipino scientist has developed AUREUS, a next-generation solar panel made using recycled food waste such as fruit and vegetable residues. The panel captures ultraviolet (UV) light rather than relying only on visible sunlight, allowing it to generate electricity even on cloudy days or without direct sun exposure. UV-reactive particles embedded in resin absorb scattered UV light and convert it into usable power. This innovation could make solar energy viable in dense cities, shaded areas, and
