How does radaition turn into power?

Radiation can be converted into power through various methods, primarily in the context of solar energy. Photovoltaic cells, for instance, absorb sunlight and convert its radiation directly into electricity via the photovoltaic effect. Additionally, concentrated solar power systems focus sunlight to heat a fluid, producing steam that drives turbines to generate electricity. In nuclear power, radiation from radioactive materials is harnessed to produce heat, which is then used to generate electricity through steam-driven turbines.
