Weird Chemistry happens at a certain temperature. At above a certain pressure (above 217.755 atmospheres) and above a certain temperature (705 Fahrenheit or 373 C), water is neither a liquid nor a gas.
Physicists have made special engines that operate on this "super-critical" fluid, that only works above this temperature / pressure combination. For the first time ever, a solar-panel has achieved this critical mass of temperature and pressure, allowing solar-energy (in very hot regions) to take advantage of the same technology that makes conventional fossil fuels so efficient.
