Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Researchers from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities-led, University of Wisconsin-- Madison and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have actually developed a new method for making thin films of perovskite oxide semiconductors, a class of "smart" materials with distinct properties that can transform in response to stimuli like light, magnetic fields, or electrical fields.

Extensive fostering of renewable energy in the power grid needs the appropriate kind of battery-- one that is safe, sustainable, powerful, resilient, as well as made from products that are plentiful and also ethically-sourced.
