Researchers create new “smart windows” that block out the sun and turn sunlight into electricity

Have you ever heard of windows that can turn from transparent to opaque, and thereby block out light from the sun? So-called smart windows have been around for quite some time now. Now one research team says they have made a quiet breakthrough that will allow for the construction of highly efficient smart windows that […]

Researchers are one step closer to creating solid oxide fuel cells

Solid oxide fuel cells could become more affordable and commonplace thanks to a recent study that successfully identified more than 50 candidate materials, reported a NanoWerk article. The new materials could allow a fuel cell to run at lower temperatures, which leads to a longer lifespan and cheaper costs. Materials researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) […]

Engineers develop breakthrough method of combining solar panels and light-emitting devices

They say that necessity is the mother of invention. However, there are times when it simply makes sense to invent something, regardless of whether it’s really necessary at the moment or not. This might just be the case with the contraption made possible by a group of engineers that took perovskites and layered them on […]
