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 ...

Researchers have developed a quick and easy way to turn the wood-based bioproduct lignin into nanoparticles that can create a transparent coating with anti-fog properties or a colorful antireflective ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a way to turn a waste material from wood into a bio-based transparent film that can be used for anti-fogging or anti-reflective coatings on glasses or vehicle windows. In ...

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 ...

With global temperatures around the world continuing to rise, the demand for air conditioning in buildings is growing. But air conditioning does not come cheap, with estimates suggesting that running ...
