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 ...

Different kinds of materials can play different roles when it comes to controlling heat. If we want to keep our home warm in the depths of winter, insulating layers in our walls can help to lock it in ...

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 ...

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, ...

Transparent electronics refer to the emerging field of developing electronic devices and circuits that are virtually invisible to the human eye. By using transparent materials such as conductive ...

For tens of thousands of years, humans have been drawn to wood as a construction material due to its strength, low cost and abundance, and lately we're seeing how transparency could be added to this ...

Covestro has signed a strategic cooperation memorandum with Anko Optics, a Chinese manufacturer of transparent plastic automotive glazing. Together, the two companies will advance the use of ...

Can you imagine having a smartphone with a wooden touchscreen? Or a house with wooden windows? Probably not -- unless you've heard of transparent wood. Made by modifying wood's natural structure, this ...
