Researchers have come up with a new way of making thin perovskite films for solar cells. The method forms perovskite crystals at room temperature, which could be helpful in mass production settings. The technique is especially well suited to make ultra-thin, semitransparent films, which could be used in photovoltaic windows.

1. I saw a TED talk about technology similiar to this.

A film that can be put on windows and absorbs energy even from ambient light not just direct sunlight.

Imagine taking a giant glass building and covering them in this film. Our downtowns could go completely solar.
