They will also be able to power the companys lights, computers and air conditioners. Several years in the making, Ubiquitous energy-producing glass
23、 is a remarkable technological achievement. Its power lies in the layers of organic polymers (聚合物) between sheets of glass. As light enters the window，the flow of electrons between the polymer layers creates an electric current, which is then collected by tiny wires in the glass. “Its sort of like a

However, people, such as the author,

36、ortant interest groups that had a positive influence on America in the nineteenth century? This is a difficult question. However, if the words interest groups are replaced with individuals, the answer would be really easy. Michael Walzer claims that individuals are just trash floating aimlessly away
37、 from every creative centre. But, it is the strange individualists who have the power to create the groups and the fact is that every group is a product of individualists. So by arguing for wiping out individualistic thought a group is actually cutting their own lifeline. Individualists are the larg
