The material is perovskite, which has long been known to convert sunlight into electricity - but until now no one knew how it did this or whether it could be made more efficient. Using ultrafast lasers, researchers discovered that electrons generated by sunlight in the material can travel extremely far. This means that scientists can get the material to harness more of the Suns energy by simply making thicker solar cells - an incredibly cheap manufacturing process. Read more: bit.ly/16oxw9z
