In design theory, extensive use of Glass is often avoided on south-facing facades in the Northern Hemisphere (or north-facing facades in the Southern Hemisphere) due to the risk of heat gain caused by ...

Having lots of glass surfaces can brighten up a room, but it also lets in too much heat as well as neighbors’ prying eyes. A new metamaterial is not only more transparent to light, but adds privacy, ...

Supramolecular glass is a non-covalently cross-linked amorphous material exhibiting exceptional optical behavior and distinctive intrinsic structural features. Like its gel counterpart, supramolecular ...

Physicists propose a novel way to create photoconductive circuits, where the circuit is directly patterned onto a glass surface with femtosecond laser light. The new technology may one day be useful ...

(Nanowerk News) What happens when you expose tellurite glass to femtosecond laser light? That’s the question that Gözden Torun at the Galatea Lab, in a collaboration with Tokyo Tech scientists, aimed ...

Transparent wood is the most recent novel development that could replace conventional glass or plastic windows. While glass and plastics are transparent and can be made to provide structural support, ...
