Scientists uncover surprising solution to major flaw in next-gen solar panels — here's what they found

The race for high-efficiency, low-cost solar is heating up, as scientists discovered a potential way to improve one of the most promising solar cell materials: perovskite. According to the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, the answer may be in utilizing the alkali metal rubidium. Perovskite is a mineral that offers many of the same benefits as silicon but is more lightweight, flexible, cost-effective, and efficient. Researchers have been…
