A spray-applied nanocomposite coating kills over 99.99% of bacteria on touchscreens while resisting scratches, combining ...

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 ...

As perovskite solar cells edge closer to commercial, a wealth of different ways to produce them is being suggested, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. One advantage common to most ...

Celebrating 60 years of progress in 2020, metallic glass technologies are widely used today in healthcare, biotechnology, manufacturing and aerospace industries as the material combines the strength, ...

(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) – ...
