Researchers have long chased a deceptively simple goal in building design: glass that lets in the view and daylight, but not the heat that drives up energy bills. That ambition is now much closer to ...

In most buildings, windows remain the most vulnerable part of the structure when it comes to energy loss. Worldwide, ...

A team of researchers at the University of Minnesota has developed a next-generation transparent and efficient semiconductor material. This breakthrough could have enormous ramifications for improving ...

A new Tesla filing reveals plans for RF transparent car roofs that could integrate with Starlink connectivity.

A new class of ceramics are not only transparent, but they can control light with exceptional efficiency—better than any ...

It looks like a tube made of glass but it’s actually aluminum. Well, aluminum with an asterisk beside it — this is not elemental aluminum but rather a material made using it. We got onto the buzz ...

Colorado team develop a new form of silicone that is more transparent than window glass, and a better thermal insulator than ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota have discovered a new material that could change technology as we know it. This nano-scale, thin-film material is transparent and extremely conductive. Many ...

“To block heat exchange, you can put a lot of insulation in your walls, but windows need to be transparent,” study co-author ...

An aerogel material that is more than 99% transparent to light and is an excellent thermal insulator has been developed by Ivan Smalyukh and colleagues at the University of Colorado Boulder in the US.

Researchers have uncovered a material perception mechanism with which humans discriminate between reflective and transparent materials (mirror and glass). The research team discovered that the brain ...
