Episode #5: "Solar cells in space" with Lennart Reb Your Friendly Physicist and other Nerds
-
- Education
Lennart Reb did his masters in physics with a focus on astrophysics at the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich, before joining the Chair of Functional Materials at the Technical University of Munich as a PhD student. His research is about a special type of solar cells called perovskite. These solar cells are incredibly thin and lightweight while having an astonishing high efficiency.
Thin, light, robust, and efficient: that makes them perfect for space applications! And this is exactly what Lennart is doing. He prepares these perovskite solar cells, mounts them on a rocket, and shoots them into space 🚀🛰️⚡️
How are these solar cells performing in space? How are different types of solar cells shaping the future of our society? And what can we learn from space technologies to solve problems down on Earth?
Tune in for a nerd talk about solar cells, rocket flights, and space technologies! 🤓🚀⚡️
