Universität Bayreuth Summary: Scientists have developed and characterized a novel, extremely thin and transparent material that has different thermal conduction properties depending on the direction.

The lightweight, gel-like material made mostly of air is 97% to 99% transparent compared to glass, which is about 92% transparent. “It’s exciting,” CU Boulder Professor Ivan Smalyukh said.

The material is entirely manmade, allowing electrons to travel faster while remaining transparent to visible and ultraviolet light. This new material is already breaking records and is seen as a ...

These excitons only break apart when they reach a “heterojunction”, which is the interface formed by making cells from two different organic materials. But because excitons tend to travel only very ...

The material, described in the journal Chemistry of Materials, could be used to develop transparent solar panels or even windows that absorb solar energy to generate electricity.

“The spent tPB is material recyclable in a closed system, where all chemicals and water are also recyclable. Furthermore, the marine biodegradability of tPB across shallow to abyssal depths is ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota have discovered a new material that could change technology as we know it. This nano-scale, thin-film material is transparent and extremely conductive.

Additionally, this new “magical” material can also change to a transparent state, allowing IR and microwaves to pass through.

Most of the acrylic you can find in hardware stores is extruded rather than cast. Cast acrylic is far more transparent, and the scratch-resistant acrylic I linked to claims to be 45x more scratch ...

Their transparent, conductive plastic consists of the very fine silver and plastic layer, which also features small amounts of copper and measures just 6.5 nanometers thick.

"The transparent magnetic material created through this method is expected to significantly enhance the development of compact magneto-optical isolators, crucial for stable optical communication ...
