Glass is becoming a thing of the past, scientists have created a new revolutionary material with a cooling function (video)

The new material is capable of lowering the temperature in a room and looks like glass, and has high energy efficiency. Researchers have developed an innovative polymer-based metamaterial with unique characteristics. This material is transparent and transmits a significant amount of sunlight, while ensuring privacy indoors. This is reported by Interesting Engineering. Moreover, it is […]

How a laser made an energy source out of glass: an amazing discovery of scientists

How a laser made an energy source out of glass: an amazing discovery of scientists

Scientists from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), together with colleagues from the Tokyo Institute of Technology, have discovered an amazing phenomenon. A short-term exposure to tellurite glass with a femtosecond laser turned it into a light-sensitive semiconductor. This makes it possible to produce photosensitive glass without any additional materials or effort, which scientists […]

Scientists have created a new type of eco-friendly glass that is 10 times stronger than conventional glass

Scientists have created a new type of eco-friendly glass that is 10 times stronger than conventional glass

Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania have developed a new type of LionGlass glass that produces 50% less carbon dioxide emissions compared to the annual 86 million tons of emissions, ScitechDaily reports. The innovative glass requires significantly less energy to produce and is more resistant to damage than conventional sodium-lime silicate glass. The team recently […]

The Lithuanian capital will share window glass with Ukraine

The Lithuanian capital will share window glass with Ukraine

Window glass is what the cities and villages of Ukraine affected by enemy shelling need today. Unfortunately, the country is unable to meet this need. Residents and businesses of Vilnius are urged to hand over windows and double-glazed windows to restore housing in Ukraine damaged by Russian shelling. The corresponding address was made by the […]
