The bonding capacity with different metals and alloys, from stainless steel to titanium superalloys, has made glass coatings effective heat shields against corrosion and oxidation at high temperatures ...

Thin-film coatings impart new properties to glass in applications as diverse as window glazing, solar cells and touchscreens. With the Megatron® sputtering system, it is now possible for the first ...

Windows may be important for letting natural light and warmth into a room, but sometimes they let in too much, or let your artificial warmth out instead. Researchers at Oxford have developed a new ...

One of the staple materials of architecture is glass, but it can constitute a weak point in the thermal performance of buildings if left untreated. The optical and thermal properties of architectural ...

There are already energy-saving "smart glass" windows that can be electronically tinted to block the sun's hot rays, thus reducing the need to run air-conditioning systems. Such systems still require ...

All-glass front doors provide ample natural light but often lack insulation. The type of glass and coatings you choose impact ...

A moth's eye and lotus leaf were the inspirations for an antireflective water-repelling, or superhydrophobic, glass coating that holds significant potential for solar panels, lenses, detectors, ...

A new glass coating made of vanadium dioxide could provide relief for sky-high summer air conditioning bills -- without affecting winter heating costs, according to a study in the latest Journal of ...
