A new window coating absorbs the sun’s warm near-infrared rays in the winter and reflects them in the summer while keeping the glass transparent (ACS Photonics 2021, DOI: 10.1021/acsphotonics.1c01128) ...

A new technique has been developed for capturing solar power through windows, which could dramatically improve solar energy utilization, particularly for high-rise buildings. When you purchase through ...

HOUSTON – (July 10, 2025) – A new coating for glass developed by Rice University researchers and collaborators could help reduce energy bills, especially during the cold season, by preventing ...

Assisted by quantum physics and machine learning, researchers have developed a transparent window coating that lets in visible light but blocks heat-producing UV and infrared. The coating not only ...

Rain, sleet, snow, and other forms of precipitation are unavoidable and frequent in most areas of the world. Thus, products are needed to make getting through them during one's day-to-day commute a ...

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 ...

In brief: Researchers from the University of Notre Dame have developed a new window coating that promises to block heat-generating infrared and ultraviolet light while allowing visible light to pass ...

A recent development in window coating technology offers a solution to the age-old problem of excessive heat gain through windows while maintaining a clear view of the surroundings. This innovative ...

Scientists have used advanced computing tech and AI to design a clear window coating that could lower the temperature inside buildings, thus saving a whole lot of cooling energy. Cooling accounts for ...
