Perovskite mineral was discovered over 150 years ago, but it's only recently that scientists have been able to synthesise the properties of the material in laboratories using commonly available chemicals. And what they're finding is that it can give a big boost to the performance of existing solar cell technology. This week we take at look at how it works.
