Scientists in China have turned regular old bamboo into a transparent material that’s also resistant to fire and water, and suppresses smoke. Silica glass, made from sand, is still the go-to ...

Transparent materials can generate electricity when exposed to light, even if they have a vanishingly small absorption of such light. Floquet Fermi liquid states are a variant of Fermi liquids ...

A team at the University of Colorado Boulder has earned a Guinness World Record for the most transparent material ever created. The lightweight, gel-like material made mostly of air is 97% to 99% ...

They describe the material as tPB, a transparent 3D material made solely of cellulose. Testing of the material showed it worked as well as standard drinking straws, with no signs of the collapse ...

"The key to this achievement lies in creating 'Cerium-substituted Yttrium Iron Garnet (Ce:YIG)', a transparent magnetic material, employing a specialized laser heating technique," points out ...
