A European group of scientists has created a novel hydrophobic antireflective (AR) coating for the cover glass of PV modules. The double-layer coating uses a silica-titania (SiO2-TiO2) thin film as ...

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, ...

Joanna Aizenberg, Ph.D. and her team at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University have improved upon the Slippery Liquid-Infused Porous Surfaces (SLIPS) technology ...

HOUSTON – (July 10, 2025) – A new coating for glass developed by Rice University researchers and collaborators could help reduce energy bills, especially during the cold season, by preventing ...

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 ...

Powder coating is a finish you’ll find quite often, as it’s no stranger to components exposed to the harshest environments. Hitches, suspension pieces, wheels, and even engine parts are all familiar ...

Glass! It’s, uh, not very conductive. And sometimes we like that! But other times, we want glass to be conductive. In that case, you might want to give the glass a very fine coating of tin oxide. [Vik ...

The modern smartphone display is a veritable showcase of cutting-edge materials and chemistry. From the liquid crystal or OLED materials at the heart of it to the LEDs and optical films of the ...

You may be curious about colors and outcomes, but it’s all just gibberish if you don’t know what powder coating is. So, let’s start at the beginning. What is powder coating? Powder coating is a dry ...
