A groundbreaking development by scientists at Oxford University could change the future of solar energy.
Researchers have created an ultra-thin solar cell made from perovskite, a mineral that could drastically reduce the need for bulky silicon panels.
The flexible coating is just over one micron thick, 150 times thinner than silicon, and can be applied to surfaces like buildings, cars, or even mobile phones.
The new cells are at least as efficient as traditional panels and could eventually reach 45% efficiency.
This innovation allows everyday objects to …
