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 ...

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 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 ...

The overall structure of a multilayered low-emissivity (low-E) coating was studied using the Thermo Scientific K-Alpha XPS (Figure 1) through high-quality sputter depth profiling. In order to control ...

(Nanowerk News) Back in 2011, researchers at Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) pioneered a bioinspired glass coating called Slippery Liquid-Infused Porous Surfaces (SLIPS) – ...

Thanks to space travel and the European Space Agency, glass is now being produced more efficiently than ever before. Now you would be forgiven for thinking glass production was already quite green – ...
