Read: Revolutionary Solar Cells Double as Lasers [1]

A relatively new type of solar cell based on a perovskite material - named for scientist Lev Perovski, who first discovered materials with this structure in the Ural Mountains in the 19th century - was recently pioneered by an Oxford research team led by Professor Henry Snaith.

Perovskite solar cells, the source of huge excitement in the research community, already lie just a fraction behind commercial silicon, having reached a remarkable 17 percent efficiency after a mere two years of research - transforming prospects for cheap large-area solar energy generation.
