Blade Runner Perovskite: Researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology have developed a novel approach to flexible LED technology. By incorporating perovskite, they successfully created fiber light-emitting diodes, or Fi-LEDs, with enhanced optoelectronic properties.
Forward-looking: Traditional solar power cells are based on a silicon semiconductor compound, which is known to have a theoretical maximum efficiency of 29 percent in converting sunlight into electric energy. However, by incorporating a second perovskite layer onto the base silicon layer, solar cells have the potential to surpass this efficiency threshold in the near future.
