Perhaps the most susceptible parts of any car to road damage are the frame and suspension components. Besides the normal rain, dirt, and other road debris, there are the usual oils, grease, and ...

Researchers have developed a quick and easy way to turn the wood-based bioproduct lignin into nanoparticles that can create a transparent coating with anti-fog properties or a colorful antireflective ...

Engineers from Stanford University used basic physics to improve solar panel efficiency. A transparent overlay made of patterned silica releases excess heat and cools down the panels. Excessive heat ...

A transparent coating that fireproofs wood has been developed by a team of scientists at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Uncoated timber burns and cracks when exposed to fire while ...

The hotter solar cells become, the less efficient they are at converting sunlight to electricity, a problem that has long vexed the solar industry. Now engineers have developed a transparent overlay ...
