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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The authors experiment with a resonant acoustic mixer as a method for dry powder coating. Efficient handling and transport of fine-particle powders can be difficult because of the highly cohesive ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
