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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

(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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

Scientists have devised a transparent coating for windows that could help cool the room, use no energy and preserve the view. Cooling accounts for about 15 percent of global energy consumption.
