A moth's eye and lotus leaf were the inspirations for an antireflective water-repelling, or superhydrophobic, glass coating that holds significant potential for solar panels, lenses, detectors, ...

A new transparent, bioinspired coating makes ordinary glass tough, self-cleaning and incredibly slippery, a team from the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University and ...

Windows may be important for letting natural light and warmth into a room, but sometimes they let in too much, or let your artificial warmth out instead. Researchers at Oxford have developed a new ...

Air-Stable Low-E Coatings on Standard Float Glass as Thin as 0.5mm Give Window Manufacturers a Drop-In Path to Triple-Pane Glazing CANTON TOWNSHIP, Mich., April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced ...

There are already energy-saving "smart glass" windows that can be electronically tinted to block the sun's hot rays, thus reducing the need to run air-conditioning systems. Such systems still require ...

A new coating for glass developed by Rice University researchers and collaborators could help reduce energy bills, especially during the cold season, by preventing heat-loss from leaky windows. The ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is a leading candidate material for the fabrication of thermochromic films and coatings that will find special applications in a new generation of 'smart' ...

One of the staple materials of architecture is glass, but it can constitute a weak point in the thermal performance of buildings if left untreated. The optical and thermal properties of architectural ...

Bioactive glass coatings have emerged as a transformative advancement in the design of biomedical implants, marrying the mechanical resilience of metallic substrates with the tissue-regenerative ...

Development of glass coatings, that are able to reflect heat (infrared radiation) and allow visible light to pass through with little degradation of perceived clarity or color, is a direct result from ...

When implanted in the body, bioactive glass triggers specific biological activity which forms a layer on the glass surface with a material similar to hydroxyapatite. This layer enables the bioactive ...
