Summary:
- Researchers have developed a new type of solar cell that can efficiently convert infrared light into electricity, expanding the range of the solar spectrum that can be harnessed for renewable energy.
- The solar cell utilizes a novel material called perovskite, which can absorb a broader range of the light spectrum compared to traditional silicon-based solar cells.
- This breakthrough could lead to the development of more efficient and cost-effective solar energy systems that can generate power from a wider range of the sun's radiation, including infrared light that is typically lost in conventional solar panels.
