Cleaning chores are never-ending, but does quantity win over quality? That’s where the new so-called 'transparent cleaning' trend really comes into its own. Experts say it’s not for the easily ...

Researchers report the development of a durable and transparent antimicrobial surface containing copper nanoparticles. The nanostructured surface was obtained by dewetting ultrathin metal copper films ...

Dust on solar panels’ protective glass surface can quickly reduce their efficiency, meaning less of the Sun’s energy is converted into usable electricity. In addition, solar panels are often in remote ...

Transparent coating combines nanoscale structuring with selective solar absorption to delay ice formation at subzero temperatures while preserving visible light transmission for optical and energy ...

Glass allows for intricate details due to laser's precision. Experiment with power and speed for best results. Cork's porous surface offers deep etching opportunities. Clean beforehand and wipe after ...

Sunlight is everywhere, but so far our efforts to harvest its energy have been restricted to solar farms and rooftop panels. A new analysis shows that transparent solar technologies that can be ...

Existing methods to detect microscopic scratches and imperfections on transparent materials are costly and time-consuming. To tackle this problem, researchers developed a novel non-contact, ...
