Miracle Material? As far as I can tell, Perovskites have been a hot topic for a LONG time. Like a really long time in terms of a topic remaining trending in research. Its nice to see reports on progress in solar cells but calling it miracle material is too exaggerating.

The first reported perovskite based solar cell was in 2013:

National Center for Photovoltaics

I’d say 9 years to see the progress that’s been made so far is great.

It turns out science and engineering is hard.

It is even harder without sufficient funding.

Glass has been around for a long time; still a miracle material.
