  "summary": "Engineers have created a new solar panel design inspired by honeycomb structures found in beehives. This innovation addresses the issue of sunlight reflecting off flat panels at oblique angles. The three-dimensional design redirects light, enhancing capture potential by up to 142.3% compared to traditional panels. It could also adapt to applications beyond rooftops, such as vehicles and aerospace…",
