A fascinating new development from a research team at the University of Michigan, successfully announced this week, brings exciting news to the world of technology, particularly in the field of energy supply. With a unique technology, the research team has identified the most cost-effective and efficient solution for supplying electricity to residential and commercial buildings, including skyscrapers. 

The new invention is nothing more than a small, completely transparent glass, powered by solar energy. So how does this ingenious patent work? Good question. Let's break it down into a few steps:

1. The glass itself is made of an organic-crystalline material that absorbs ultraviolet and infrared energy - wavelengths that are invisible to the human eye. 

2. This crystalline material then emits the energy it absorbs - outward. 

3. The energy is captured by small 'pupils' positioned at the edges of the glass. These pupils are responsible for directing the infrared and ultraviolet rays and converting them into regular solar cells, or in other words, transforming light into electricity.
