Engineers develop eco-friendly panels that switch from transparent to opaque Someday we won’t need curtains or blinds on our windows, and we will be able to block out light–or le... Read more
The self-modifying coating, which is a thousand times thinner than a human hair, works by automatically letting in more heat when it’s cold and blocking the sun’s rays when it’s hot. Smart w... Read more
New type of smart windows use liquid to switch from clear to reflective Researchers have demonstrated prototype windows that switch from reflective to clear with the simple addition of a liq... Read more
Demonstration device dynamically responds to sunlight by transforming from transparent to tinted while converting sunlight into electricity Thermochromic windows capable of converting sunlig... Read more
NIMS, Waseda University and Tama Art University developed together smart glass capable of producing various shades on its surface. NIMS, Waseda University and Tama Art University developed t... Read more
Smart windows equipped with controllable glazing can augment lighting, cooling and heating systems by varying their tint, saving up to 40 percent in an average building’s energy costs.... Read more
Discovery could lower cost and expand possibilities for building-integrated solar energy collection Researchers at the University of Minnesota and University of Milano-Bicocca are bringing t... Read more
Electrochromic glass darkens automatically when the sun shines and keeps the heat out. Previously it was available only in blue, and switching times were also long. Now, a new process makes... Read more
“Electrically Controllable Light Trapping for Self-Powered Switchable Solar Windows” Smart windows get darker to filter out the sun’s rays on bright days, and turn clear on cloud... Read more
A coating that blocks 90 per cent of the heat from sunlight could be used to develop smart windows By fine-tuning the chemical composition of nanoparticles, A*STAR researchers have developed... Read more
Researchers in the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin have invented a new flexible smart window material that, when incorporated into windows, sunroofs, or e... Read more
New system can rapidly switch glass from transparent to dark — and keep it that way without power. A team of researchers at MIT has developed a new way of making windows that can switch from... Read more
