Physico-chemical Technologies  (Click any link below to view that Spore Capsule)

Physico-chemical technologies include Fuel cells, Electric machinery, Solar energy systems, Thermal efficiency processes & materials, and Thin-film materials.  The majority of these technologies deal with the capture and transformation of energy and is therefore grouped first according to the input energy and second according to the output energy.  With photovoltaic cells, for example, the input energy is light and the output energy is electricity; photovoltaic cells are therefore grouped as light (input) / electric (output).  Technologies that do not transform energy are sorted according to their most relevant energy.  For example, superconducting films merely transmit electricity and therefore are sorted as electric(input) / electric(output).
