Perovskites in space
Researchers led by the Technical University of Munich have actually loaded a selection of perovskite and also natural solar cells onto a rocket, and also sent it right into orbit 240 kilometers over the planet's surface. Their outcomes demonstrate strong capacity for such technologies to power satellites and also even deep space goals.
