Solar Panels Made With a Particle Accelerator?!

The video explains how particle accelerators are used in the manufacturing of solar panels. It begins by discussing the challenges of cutting silicon wafers with traditional saws, which result in material waste. The video then introduces the innovative use of particle accelerators to embed protons into silicon, allowing for precise and waste-free wafer cutting. This method not only reduces silicon waste but also enables the use of higher-quality silicon, making solar panels more efficient and cost-effective.
