Perovskite and also organic solar cells soared into space
For the very first time, researchers in Germany sent perovskite as well as natural solar cells on a rocket right into room. The solar cells held up against the severe conditions in space, creating power from direct sunshine as well as reflective light from the Earth's surface area. The work, published August 12 in the journal Joule, establishes the structure for future near-Earth application in addition to prospective deep space missions.
