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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Crystalline silicon has been the go-to material for solar cell makers since the 1950s, with the material offering supreme conversion efficiency and stability over the alternatives. One thing it ...

QUEZON CITY, Philippines — A single droplet of acid, a small electrical current, and ten minutes are the surprisingly modest ...

Transparent conductive materials and devices have emerged as pivotal components in a wide range of applications, spanning from modern displays and photovoltaic cells to sensors and flexible ...

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, ...

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 ...

Existing methods to detect microscopic scratches and imperfections on transparent materials are costly and time-consuming. To tackle this problem, researchers developed a novel non-contact, ...
