Perovskites are a different material than the silicon wafers that make up traditional solar panels – they have a unique crystallographic structure that makes them highly effective at converting photons of light from the sun into usable electricity.

In today's episode, we welcome Akash Singh, a current 4th year Ph.D. candidate at Duke University. Akash’s research is centered around perovskite materials, with a goal of enabling next-generation solar cells, sensors, memory, and computing devices. With him, we discuss:

🔹 Describe the perovskite class of materials, and what makes them so desirable for solar cells.

🔹 What makes a glassy perovskite special.

🔹 Comparison of perovskite-based products with products based on other materials

🔹 Advice to students who want to improve the quality and impact of their scientific writing.

🔹And much more!

We hope you enjoy the episode! And as always, let us know what topics you’d like us to cover next!
