Technology of Victory: From Tanks to Tractors
There’s a tank behind every tractor a bomb behind every energy breakthrough. Sixty-five years after the Allied forces victory over the Axis, we live in a high-tech world made possible by amazing wartime innovations. This month RT’s Technology Update looks at how the ingenuity of the World War II era saved lives then, and continues to shape lives today.

Solar Energy to 7 Billion People
By exploiting the powers of nanotechnology and taking advantage of nontoxic, Earth-abundant materials, Berkeley Lab’s Cyrus Wadia has fabricated new solar cell devices that have the potential to be several orders of magnitude less expensive than conventional solar cells. And, by mastering the chemistry of these materials—and the economics of solar energy—he envisions bringing electricity to the 1.2 billion people now living without it.
