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 ...
An ultrathin MXene film absorbs invisible solar wavelengths to generate heat while staying transparent, enabling passive anti-fogging and de-icing on glass surfaces. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Sunlight ...
Researchers have developed a PFAS-free dual-layer sol-gel and hydrophobic silica coating that repels water, dust, and dirt while maintaining high light transmission for solar panels. The transparent, ...
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 at Oxford University have won a materials science prize to develop a high-technology coating with the potential to reduce the manufacturing costs of new-generation solar photovoltaic cells ...
