Actually, it's more of a people problem. But materials development has been key to much that we accept now - the Internet and all of our other modern communications technology would not be possible without the invention of the transistor. Here are three materials contributions to advanced energy generation techniques as reported in the Feb issue of Advanced Materials and Processes"
Glass/polyester wind turbine blades have higher stiffness
Glass texture improves efficiency of solar cells
Fuel cell powered by sunlight on titania-coated electrode
The magazine also reports about five other weight-saving developments in more mundane applications - save weight = save fuel!
