The research team’s semi-transparent solar concentrator can be directly coated onto standard window glass. It uses liquid crystal films to reflect and guide circularly-polarized sunlight to solar ...

Scientists in China have invented a new type of coating that can turn standard windows into solar panels. The discovery could supercharge the global clean energy transition, according to the team from ...

A European team is investigating a new type of thin film solar PV window that relies on microfabrication techniques to overcome the view-impeding opacity and unwanted coloring of earlier solar window ...

Plug-in solar has remained in the shadows because of a lack of safety standards and often costly requirements imposed by ...

Via assembling the all-flexible multilayers of hydrophobic-coating/transparent-heater/hydrogel/PET, the window with Lotus-analogous surface can be in-situ switched ...

A research team at Hefei University of Technology (HFUT), China, has developed what it calls all-flexible, self-cleaning smart window that not only fine-tunes solar gain in real time but also protects ...
