This next-generation material can self-heal when exposed to radiation
Briefly

Metal-halide perovskite can recover and heal itself from radiation damage, indicating its potential for use in space-based solar panels.
Perovskite solar cells performed as well as silicon solar cells despite being significantly thinner and lighter.
High-energy protons were found to heal the damage caused by low-energy protons in perovskite solar cells, a unique property not seen in conventional semiconductors.
