A team of researchers at the University of Minnesota has developed a next-generation transparent and efficient semiconductor material. This breakthrough could have enormous ramifications for improving ...

Researchers at the University of Osaka have developed a highly transparent material made entirely from natural wood without adding plastic and uncovered why some wood becomes clearer than others.

Windows are some of the biggest energy liabilities in modern buildings, yet they are also non‑negotiable for light, comfort, and design. A new class of clear materials promises to flip that equation, ...

Windows and smartphone screens may one day be constructed from transparent wood laced with egg whites and safely composted at the end of their life. Researchers are interested in using wood to make ...

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% ...

This slice of semi-transparent wood is made with natural materials and could be used in applications from wearable sensors to energy-efficient windows. SAN DIEGO, March 26, 2025 — Can you imagine a ...

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 ...
