26、an art show in a 5.5-square-meter ice house to try to call tourists attention to the remote village during the freezing winter months. The exhibition was a huge success, attracting many day visitors. However, it was not until a group of adventurous souls arrived with sleeping bags, announcing their
27、intention to spend the night inside the house, that the idea of the frozen hotel was born.The ICEHOTEL has come a long way since its beginnings. It covers an area of over 5,500 square meters.

34、ly cloudy days. And now a new type of material has been developed that can do just that store solar energy when its in abundance, and release it as heat later on as required.“This work presents an exciting way for energy harvesting and storage within a single material,” the University of Torontos Te

Sunlight kicks it into a long-lasting “charged” mode, and then another stimulus (刺激物) such as light, heat, or electricity is used to return it to its original, “not charged” state, and a burst of heat was given off as a
37、 result.Such solar thermal fuels (STF) have been developed before, but this new method is the first based on a solid-state material rather than a liquid one, and that can make all the difference in terms of how it can be used. Whats more, its based on inexpensive materials and with widespread manufa
