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 ...

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 ...

Energy-efficient windows can improve comfort and reduce heat loss. Learn how they work, what features matter and when replacement makes sense.

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 ...

Last week I wrote about the early strategies window manufacturers employed to improve energy performance: adding extra layers of glass and increasing the thickness of the airspace between the layers ...

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.

Cranking up the air conditioner is one way to keep buildings cool, but it guzzles energy. Passive materials can regulate interior temperatures more efficiently, and now scientists in South Korea have ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Windows welcome light into interior spaces, but they also bring in unwanted heat. A new window coating blocks heat-generating ultraviolet and infrared light and lets through visible light, regardless ...
