A team of scientists from the Department of Energy\u2019s Ames National Laboratory has developed a new characterisation tool that allowed them to gain unique insight into a possible alternative material for solar cells.<\/h2>\n
The team developed a microscope that uses terahertz waves to collect data on material samples. They used their microscope to explore Methylammonium Lead Iodide (MAPbI3<\/sub>) perovskite, a material that could potentially replace silicon in solar cells.<\/p>\n
