Postdoc Research Café | Perovskite – The Wonder Crystal

Perovskite is a rocky mineral that was discovered in the Ural Mountains of Russia in 1839. Since then, scientists have discovered that these mineral crystals are photosensitive semiconductors, meaning they can conduct electricity with little resistance! Join us for this edition of the Research Café as we hear from TWO UNC postdocs researching this intriguing material and learn how it is being used to make the next generation of conductors with the potential to revolutionize the solar energy industry! This is a broad talk that is open to everyone – friends, family, students – no science background is required!
