Windows are some of the biggest energy liabilities in modern buildings, yet they are also non‑negotiable for light, comfort, and design. A new class of clear materials promises to flip that equation, ...

Scientists have created a transparent solar coating that turns ordinary windows into clean energy generators without affecting clarity. Using cholesteric liquid crystal layers, the coating redirects ...

A new study highlights a semi-transparent, color-tunable solar cell designed to work in places traditional panels can’t, like windows and flexible surfaces. Using a 3D-printed pillar structure, the ...

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 ...

New semi-transparent solar cells use 3D-printed pillars to adjust color and light transmission without changing the solar material, ideal for windows and flexible surfaces. Using a 3D-printed pillar ...
