The bonding capacity with different metals and alloys, from stainless steel to titanium superalloys, has made glass coatings effective heat shields against corrosion and oxidation at high temperatures ...

A new coating for glass developed by Rice University researchers and collaborators could help reduce energy bills, especially during the cold season, by preventing heat-loss from leaky windows. The ...

Air-Stable Low-E Coatings on Standard Float Glass as Thin as 0.5mm Give Window Manufacturers a Drop-In Path to Triple-Pane Glazing CANTON TOWNSHIP, Mich., April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced ...

One of the staple materials of architecture is glass, but it can constitute a weak point in the thermal performance of buildings if left untreated. The optical and thermal properties of architectural ...

There are already energy-saving "smart glass" windows that can be electronically tinted to block the sun's hot rays, thus reducing the need to run air-conditioning systems. Such systems still require ...

The transparency of glass to visible light makes it the most common way to let light into a building. But because glass is also transparent to near-infrared radiation—windows also let in heat, giving ...

A moth's eye and lotus leaf were the inspirations for an antireflective water-repelling, or superhydrophobic, glass coating that holds significant potential for solar panels, lenses, detectors, ...

Thin-film coatings impart new properties to glass in applications as diverse as window glazing, solar cells and touchscreens. With the Megatron® sputtering system, it is now possible for the first ...

Steven Girard, a chemistry professor at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, took home Project Pitch It’s $10,000 prize ...

Sunlight streaming through a car’s windows can make the temperature inside the cabin unbearable without air conditioning. A new transparent coating for glass made from metallic nanoparticles could ...
