🌞 Throwback to 1954: Bell Labs dropped a game-changer—the first modern solar cell, turning sunlight into electricity with silicon! ⚡️🔋
At just 6% efficiency, some wondered: what’s the point? But it was a spark that lit the future.
💡 Inspired by R.S. Ohl’s earlier discovery that sunlight could unleash a storm of free electrons in silicon, G.L. Pearson, C.S. Fuller, and D.M. Chapin built a tiny silicon array (about the size of razor blades) that captured sunlight and made power.
From humble beginnings, this "solar battery" now powers everything from calculators to satellites—with today's cells hitting 25% efficiency and climbing. ☀️🚀

🌍 On This Day — April 22, 1500
Portuguese explorer Pedro Álvares Cabral became the first European to land in Brazil, near Monte Pascoal. 🌿🇧🇷
Thinking he had reached a new part of India, Cabral instead found a land rich in forests and new cultures. He claimed the territory for Portugal, marking the beginning of centuries of Portuguese influence in South America.
It was a discovery for Europe — but not for the people already living there.
👀 What do you think: Was it a “discovery”… or an invasion?
