Scientists create solar cells that work underwater at 10 metres and run robots

Innovative research has led to the creation of wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells tailored for underwater energy generation. Capable of harnessing limited light at depths of up to ten meters, these cells have been tested on underwater robots, showcasing their effectiveness and considerable power output. They displayed impressive durability during extensive storage and under simulated marine conditions, marking a significant advancement in power supply for sub-oceanic technologies and sensors.
