DTU researchers have developed an important coating for underwater drones and solar cell platforms. The coating will not adorn the drones in different colors, but rather act as a self-polishing layer ...
A 3D image (taken with laser confocal microscopy) shows crater-like features generated by the captured droplets. (Courtesy: Northwestern University) A transparent, viscous coating that can be brushed ...
Engineers from Stanford University used basic physics to improve solar panel efficiency. A transparent overlay made of patterned silica releases excess heat and cools down the panels. Excessive heat ...
The introduction of the Nanosceptor coating machine that places transparent coating on glass, plastic and metals which repels water, oil and other adhesive materials. Normal TEFLON coatings have a ...
Researchers have developed a PFAS-free dual-layer sol-gel and hydrophobic silica coating that repels water, dust, and dirt while maintaining high light transmission for solar panels. The transparent, ...
Researchers have developed a quick and easy way to turn the wood-based bioproduct lignin into nanoparticles that can create a transparent coating with anti-fog properties or a colorful antireflective ...
The hotter solar cells become, the less efficient they are at converting sunlight to electricity, a problem that has long vexed the solar industry. Now engineers have developed a transparent overlay ...
An ultrathin MXene film absorbs invisible solar wavelengths to generate heat while staying transparent, enabling passive anti-fogging and de-icing on glass surfaces. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Sunlight ...
