Researchers in South Korea have developed a wood-based smart window that adjusts light, blocks harmful ultraviolet radiation, ...

Researchers in the Republic of Korea are pushing smart-window design beyond glass. Professor Sung Ho Song at Kongju National ...

A group of physicists from Russia, Sweden, and the U.S. has demonstrated a highly unusual optical effect: They managed to "virtually" absorb light using a material that has no light-absorbing capacity ...

Researchers at the USDepartment of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory and BrookhavenNational Laboratory have fabricated transparent thin films that they claim are capableof absorbing light and ...

New 'zentropy theory' based on quantum mechanics could unlock seemingly impossible electronic devices made with transparent ...

Researchers are making progress on the design of a solar battery made from an abundant, non-toxic and easily synthesized material composed of 2D carbon nitride. The collaborative effort between the ...

These mini-pyramids scatter 73% of the light that hits them, which gives the material that frosted look. But despite that, it’s surprisingly more transparent to light than regular glass – 95% ...

For tens of thousands of years, humans have been drawn to wood as a construction material due to its strength, low cost and abundance, and lately we're seeing how transparency could be added to this ...

Environmentally friendly buildings are highly attractive for sustainable development and efficient energy consumption.
