Humans have worked for centuries to attempt to capture and use the sun’s energy. With the decades-long usage of solar-powered technologies, have you ever wondered how harnessing this power was successful in the first place? Enter Mária Telkes, a hungarian-born biophysicist, chemical engineer and inventor who had a vision for the practical application of solar energy. Her near-50 year devotion to solar and its applications led to the creation of a variety of innovative and life-saving inventions, all while being undercut and thwarted by her boss and colleagues at MIT. Recognized as one of the world’s foremost pioneers in solar energy, a tenacious scientist and woman well ahead of her time, it’s no wonder she was granted the appropriate nickname: “The Sun Queen.”
