  • In this year's World Solar Challenge, the fastest solar-powered cars race from Darwin to the sleepy city of Adelaide in the south, hitting speeds of more than 100 kilometers per hour. Cars making it to the end will have traveled 3000 kilometers through the red deserts into the woodlands of South Australia. The designs, particularly a more realistic type of car taking part for the first time this year, will one day make an impact far beyond this one race. Battery scientist David Rand, from the CSIRO in Melbourne, is scrutinizing car battery packs to make sure they comply with the rules.
