Smart glass that darkens is nothing new -- Boeing's latest airplanes have it in place of mechanical shades on passenger windows. But that glass requires electricity. A voltage must be applied to get it to change color. Instead of using electricity, Yang's glass creates it.

 

Imagine one of the stadiums with a lot of glass generating electricity to power scoreboards, video displays, cameras on Pats* coaches, etc!
