TL;DR Summary

Researchers at Stanford University have successfully created and stabilized a rare form of gold, Au2+, by incorporating it into a halide perovskite material. This discovery opens up possibilities for applications in solar cells, light sources, and electronics components. The Au2+ perovskite can be easily synthesized using common ingredients at room temperature. The unique properties of Au2+ make it intriguing for its magnetic effects and potential use in magnetism and conductivity applications. The research builds upon the work of Linus Pauling and his study of gold perovskites and vitamin C. Further studies will be conducted to explore the potential of Au2+ perovskite.
