To help support themselves, the Huichol create beautiful artwork, including paintings made from yarn (纱线)They sell their art in cities hundreds of miles awayBut without electricity at home or on the road, they can only work during daylight hours. “We have to stop whatever were doing when it gets dark,” says Miquel Carillo, leader of the Huichol peopleHe explains the sales of their artwork are essential to their life, where farming is difficult and crops often fail“So we just wait for the sun to come up again.”Now, a team of scientists is using new technologies to help the Huichol outWith special textiles(纺织原料) known as “Portable Lights”, people just have to weave tiny electronic crystals(晶体) into fabrics(织物) that can be made into clothes, bags, or othersBy collecting the suns energy during the day, these lightweight textiles give off light at night.A new type of solar panel is only 10 inches long and 5 inches wideIt is used to collect solar energy into a lithium ion(锂离子) battery-the type of battery found in laptops and cell phonesAfter just 3 hours of sunlight, the battery has enough charge to power a portable light for 10 hours.Now “Portable Lights” have become a pattern in the bags of Huichol people and the researcherscant keep up with demand.On the other side of the world, in the Central Australian desert, researchers was working to bring Portable Light to the Arrernte people, who travel across the desert without electricityOne goal is to use the technology to power cell phones that teachers in local schools can use to download lesson plansThat way, kids wont have to travel to cities to get an education.59The native Huichol people dont get access to electricity because _.
