A research team at the University of Central Florida has successfully used artificial intelligence (AI) to develop a special liquid called “perovskite” which they hope can eventually be used to create spray-on solar cells.
The new development, dubbed “perovskite solar cells” (PSCs), is being hailed as a potential game-changer in terms of how consumers use energy. In a press statement, the university wrote:
“Imagine being able to spray or paint bridges, houses and skyscrapers with the material, which would then capture light, turn it into energy and feed it into the electrical grid. Until now, the solar cell industry has relied on silicon because of its efficiency. But that’s old technology with limits.”
