For centuries, humans have made use of glass in their art, tools, and technology. Despite the ubiquity of this material, ...

Additionally, the material showed a high spectral transmittance, or transparency, of 95%. In comparison, glass typically has a transparency of 91%. At the same time, the micro-pyramid structure ...

Pilkington Mirropane™ is a high-performance one-way mirror designed for applications requiring both reflective and transparent properties. This innovative glass provides a clear view from one ...

When light travels from air into glass it slows down because glass is more (optically) dense than air. This change in speed can cause the light to bend at the boundary between the two transparent ...

When a light ray reaches the boundary between two transparent ... total internal reflection, is called the critical angle. The diagram below shows the light refracting from glass into air.
