🎉 We're celebrating National Nano Day (10/9) this week! Years ago, researchers discovered that perovskite crystals could potentially be used in solar cells. Now, materials scientists like postdoctoral researcher Dr. Raphael Moral are currently working at the Molecular Foundry to make various other devices more efficient and more effective by exploring the possibilities of these materials. In an episode of Foundry Fireside produced by a talented high school intern from Berkeley Lab's Experiences in Research summer program (run by Berkeley Lab K-12 Programs), join Dr. Moral as he breaks down the science of semiconductors and dives into the potential applications of metal halide perovskites in lighting and energy conversion. 🌟 Watch the full video here: https://lnkd.in/gCAzZWzD Want more Foundry Fireside?
