Episode 59: Photovoltaic Materials

We all know that solar panels take heat from the sun and turn it into energy/ What you may not know is the science behind that process and the materials that make it possible. Taylor sits down with his adventure buddy/photovoltaics expert Mike Scarpulla from the University of Utah. This episode is sponsored by Materials Today, an Elsevier community dedicated to the creation and sharing of materials science knowledge and experience through their peer-reviewed journals, academic conferences, educational webinars, and more.
