The field in clean energy solutions come together for a special event presented by kevin fong at the victoria and albert museum, london. Hello, i m kevin fong, and welcome to the engineers: clean energy. We are here at the victoria and albert museum in london with a socially distanced public audience, a virtual audience from around the globe, and three of the world s leading engineers. Now, the climate catastrophe threatens all of us. But these engineers are at the forefront of providing our world with real solutions. Applause. Please welcome henry snaith. He s professor of physics at oxford, and through his engineering of low cost photovoltaics, henry discovered a thin film of solar cells made of perovskite. It could be a hugely significant discovery, as henry hopes it will eventually double the efficiency of solar power and halve the cost.
