Spanning a remarkable five decades, the brilliant chemical engineer and innovator Mária Telkes dedicated herself to the exploitation of solar energy. She is credited with creating the first solar-heated home of the modern era that functioned effectively, as well as discovering an innovative chemical capable of storing solar energy akin to a battery’s function.
The visual presents an overlay of graphical elements and text with a vintage aesthetic, featuring a portrait of a smiling woman with short curly hair, wearing a white lab coat. The title “the SUN QUEEN” is prominently displayed in a stylized font, suggesting a reference to her pioneering work in solar energy. The background has warm hues, possibly to evoke the essence of sunlight and its significance to her achievements, and there appears to be a watermark or logo indicating that this might be from a production, potentially a documentary, by American Experience Films.
