Stanford engineers have developed a transparent silicon overlay that can increase the efficiency of solar cells by keeping them cool. The cover collects and then radiates heat directly into space, ...

Joanna Aizenberg, Ph.D. and her team at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University have improved upon the Slippery Liquid-Infused Porous Surfaces (SLIPS) technology ...

(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- Imagine a phone screen or marine sensor that repairs scratches on its own and prevents bacterial buildup-without losing clarity. This study introduces a ...

The introduction of the Nanosceptor coating machine that places transparent coating on glass, plastic and metals which repels water, oil and other adhesive materials. Normal TEFLON coatings have a ...

Engineers from Stanford University used basic physics to improve solar panel efficiency. A transparent overlay made of patterned silica releases excess heat and cools down the panels. Excessive heat ...

A transparent window coating that can help cool a building while using no energy and maintaining the view of the outside has been developed by researchers from the US. The technology — which was ...

A new transparent deicing coating that can also clean itself could be a boon for solar panels, windows, and windshields (Adv. Mater. 2021, DOI: 10.1002/adma.202108232). Solar-heating materials are the ...

Researchers from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Hong Kong Polytechnic University have designed and investigated a novel coated semi-transparent photovoltaic (CSTPV) glazing for ...

A transparent coating that fireproofs wood has been developed by a team of scientists at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Uncoated timber burns and cracks when exposed to fire while ...
