A spray-applied nanocomposite coating kills over 99.99% of bacteria on touchscreens while resisting scratches, combining ...

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 ...

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, ...

When implanted in the body, bioactive glass triggers specific biological activity which forms a layer on the glass surface with a material similar to hydroxyapatite. This layer enables the bioactive ...

Glass fiber was the first reinforcement used in modern polymeric composites but springs from an ancient art. Here, glass fiber ends are wound side-by-side onto warp beams (large rolls or cylinders) ...

(Nanowerk News) Back in 2011, researchers at Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) pioneered a bioinspired glass coating called Slippery Liquid-Infused Porous Surfaces (SLIPS) – ...

As perovskite solar cells edge closer to commercial, a wealth of different ways to produce them is being suggested, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. One advantage common to most ...
