A young Berkeley Lab and University of California, Berkeley scientist has been recognized by Technology Review magazine as among the world’s top innovators under age 35. Cyrus Wadia, 34, was chosen for identifying materials that could be unexpectedly useful in solar cells.

…

Wadia’s goal is to make solar energy affordable and accessible to everyone on the planet, especially to the 1.2 billion people now living without electricity. To reach this goal, he and colleagues are developing photovoltaic solar cells from naturally occurring, Earth-abundant materials such as iron sulfide and copper sulfide.
