The pavement that generates electricity: Researchers reveal solar-powered tiles that can create enough energy to help power our cities.

Solar-powered tiles could soon line pavements, harnessing the sun's energy to power our cities.

At least that's the vision of Scottish scientists who are working on creating paving tiles that converts energy from the sun into electricity.

Scientists say the tiles are tough enough to withstand pedestrian traffic and waterproof enough to survive rainy weather.
