It sounds bizarre, but it's true: researchers are using phytonutrients found in spinach plants to create fascinating new "green" solar panels that covert sunlight into electricity. The idea stems from the realization that spinach plants already turn sunlight into energy -- that's called photosynthesis, and all green plants do it. So instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, so to speak, researchers are harnessing the technology of nature and shaping it into a modern-day solar panel. Good thinking. Good science, too. It's the perfect marriage of nature and science that promises to bring a significant quality of life benefit to the inhabitants of this planet. It's also comforting to see these scientists trusting the wisdom of nature. You see, nature already has all answers we need for renewable energy, environmental protection and even natural health. All we have to do is be humble enough to ask the right questions, and quiet enough to hear the answers. True science, it is said, is merely the process of asking nature to reveal her secrets. And these days, there's a shortage of true science. Too much of "modern science" involves people trying to dominate nature rather than attempting to learn from it.
