A partnership between Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Giant Leap Technologies has been granted $2.2 million to develop concentrated solar power (CSP) plants using Giant Leap Technologies' patent-pending Digital Glass technology, which utilizes microfluidics to direct fluids through tiny channels inside solid panels for a refractive effect, "steering" sunlight to a solar receiver. The microfluidic panels, which LLNL and GLT plan to 3D print with revolutionary new microfluidic printing technologies, will drastically reduce the cost, material and space requirements that current solar power plants demand.
