A team of researchers at the University of Minnesota has developed a next-generation transparent and efficient semiconductor material. This breakthrough could have enormous ramifications for improving ...

A new Tesla filing reveals plans for RF transparent car roofs that could integrate with Starlink connectivity.

An aerogel material that is more than 99% transparent to light and is an excellent thermal insulator has been developed by Ivan Smalyukh and colleagues at the University of Colorado Boulder in the US.

Researchers have long chased a deceptively simple goal in building design: glass that lets in the view and daylight, but not the heat that drives up energy bills. That ambition is now much closer to ...

Tesla has patented a radio-frequency (RF) transparent roof made from polymer blends that could enable improved connectivity.

Transparent conductive materials and devices have emerged as pivotal components in a wide range of applications, spanning from modern displays and photovoltaic cells to sensors and flexible ...

Hypergap materials reveal a second transparent region above the bandgap, overturning assumptions about optical limits and enabling low-loss light control, wavelength conversion, and new photonic ...

A market survey for transparent electronics reported by IDTechEx predicts market growth of twenty billion dollars by 2041. According to the report, thin film transistors (TFTs), display devices, ...

Colorado team develop a new form of silicone that is more transparent than window glass, and a better thermal insulator than ...

Researchers have uncovered a material perception mechanism with which humans discriminate between reflective and transparent materials (mirror and glass). The research team discovered that the brain ...

A group of physicists from Russia, Sweden, and the U.S. has demonstrated a highly unusual optical effect: They managed to "virtually" absorb light using a material that has no light-absorbing capacity ...
