Movie produces electric power

It's Tuesday, October 2, 2035, and the world is abuzz with excitement as the Nobel Prize committee announces Carvey Ehren Maigue as the laureate for Physics. The Filipino inventor, then a 27-year-old electrical engineering student at Mapúa University, made headlines in 2020 when his invention, a film called Aureus, won the prestigious James Dyson Award.

Aureus, a transparent film, has the remarkable ability to convert the invisible UV radiation of sunlight into visible light. This groundbreaking invention, which can be simply stuck on windows or walls, works even when the sky is cloudy. The wavelengths of the visible light produced by Aureus can be utilized by conventional solar cells, making it a potential game-changer in the renewable energy sector.

Maigue sent his invention to an inventor's competition in 2020, where it won the top prize. The success story of this student's invention has been chronicled every 14 days in the ZEIT crisis podcast "Even this?", a podcast that updates its content every 14 days.

Interestingly, the Italian researchers who reported in 2020 on transparent solar cells made from recycled materials are not named in the search results, and there is no indication that they have been associated with the Nobel Prize for Physics. Their work, while significant, remains fiction compared to the practical application of Maigue's invention.

Maigue's journey from a student inventor to a Nobel laureate is a testament to the power of innovation and the potential of young minds. His invention, Aureus, is undeniably the face of a new solar wonder, revolutionizing the way we harness solar energy and paving the way for a greener future.
