road-to-2007-sm.jpgBlacktop is exceptionally good at soaking up the sun’s warmth. Now, a research team has found a way to use that heat-soaking property for an alternative energy source. Through asphalt, the researchers are developing a solar collector that could turn roads and parking lots into ubiquitous—and inexpensive—sources of electricity and hot water.
