(Nanowerk News) Switchable mirrors can be switched between a transparent state and a mirror state. Their use can yield energy-saving window glass that substantially reduces cooling loads by ...

Yasusei Yamada (Senior Researcher) and others of Energy Control Thin Film Group have developed a new switchable mirror with a visible transmittance of over 70% in the transparent state. Window glass ...

Researchers show that switching between reflective and scattering states can be achieved with just 1.4 V, about the same voltage used to light a typical LED. Researchers have developed a way to ...

WASHINGTON -- Using nanoscale grass-like structures, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania have created glass that lets through a large amount of light while appearing hazy. This ...

WASHINGTON -- Researchers have developed a way to dynamically switch the surface of liquid metal between reflective and scattering states. This technology could one day be used to create electrically ...
