perovskite technology: In our opinion, perovskite solar cells have the potential to address the world energy poverty, said Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, a professor at Switzerland's Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, an institution on the cutting edge of solar energy research, according to The Japan Times. Solar panels coated with the mineral are light, flexible, efficient, inexpensive and come in varying hues and degrees of transparency. Indeed, perovskite technology is on track to revolutionize access to solar power for all, given its surprising physical properties, some experts say. They can easily be affixed to almost any surface laptop, car, drone, spacecraft, building to produce electricity, including in the shade or indoors. It was named after the Russian mineralogist Lev Perovski. Though the excitement is new, the mineral perovskite has been known to science since at least the 1830s, when it was identified by the German mineralogist Gustav Rose while prospecting in the Ural Mountains.
