Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have created semi-transparent, color-tunable solar cells. Interestingly, these can be 3D-printed onto windows, building façades, and flexible surfaces ...

In this article, we get technical. What is Floquet engineering, and how can this quantum-level science impact materials? We explain this and more.

Windows are responsible for more than half of all heat loss and heat gain in buildings. In 2024, buildings accounted for about 30% of all global energy consumption, according to the International ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. A well-placed window can brighten a room with natural light and ...

MOCHI uses microscopic, air-filled channels to stop heat in its tracks while remaining nearly crystal clear. If scaled up, it could transform windows into powerful energy savers and solar harvesters.

Physicists at CU Boulder have designed a new material for insulating windows that could improve the energy efficiency of buildings worldwide—and it works a bit like a high-tech version of Bubble Wrap.
