Hypergap materials reveal a second transparent region above the bandgap, overturning assumptions about optical limits and ...

A group of physicists from Russia, Sweden, and the U.S. has demonstrated a highly unusual optical effect: They managed to "virtually" absorb light using a material that has no light-absorbing capacity ...

The ideal material for constructing a building will be low cost and be of a low energy demand. Such a material will also have a low carbon footprint, and be efficient in terms of heating the building ...

Physicists propose a novel way to create photoconductive circuits, where the circuit is directly patterned onto a glass surface with femtosecond laser light. The new technology may one day be useful ...

Transparent electronics refer to the emerging field of developing electronic devices and circuits that are virtually invisible to the human eye. By using transparent materials such as conductive ...

Researchers looking to craft construction materials that are more environment-friendly have come up with bricks made of mushrooms and windows built with transparent wood. The mushroom bricks are light ...

For tens of thousands of years, humans have been drawn to wood as a construction material due to its strength, low cost and abundance, and lately we're seeing how transparency could be added to this ...

A team of researchers at the University of Minnesota has developed a next-generation transparent and efficient semiconductor material. This breakthrough could have enormous ramifications for improving ...
