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 joint research team led by Professors Han-Ki Kim and Bo Ram Lee from Sungkyunkwan University's School of Advanced Materials ...

"Glass" has a unique and distinct meaning in physics—one that refers not just to the transparent material we associate with window glass. Instead, it refers to any system that looks solid but is not ...

Hypergap materials reveal a second transparent region above the bandgap, overturning assumptions about optical limits and enabling low-loss light control, wavelength conversion, and new photonic ...

A market survey for transparent electronics reported by IDTechEx predicts market growth of twenty billion dollars by 2041. According to the report, thin film transistors (TFTs), display devices, ...

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 ...

Close adherence to molding guidelines may be necessary in order for clear resin to remain clear after molding—a necessary characteristic in many medical applications. Editor’s note: Cyro ...

Transparent materials can generate electricity when exposed to light, even if they have a vanishingly small absorption of such light. Floquet Fermi liquid states are a variant of Fermi liquids ...

In most buildings, windows remain the most vulnerable part of the structure when it comes to energy loss. Worldwide, buildings account for roughly 40% of total energy use, much of it spent keeping ...
