(Phys.org)—A team of researchers at the University of Maryland has taken the idea of making wood transparent one better, by making it stronger than glass and thus more useful for a variety of ...

Scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have for the first time 3D-printed transparent glass at room temperature. This new 3D printing method can make flat lenses in just ...

Scientists transform wood from balsa trees into a transparent state that could someday replace conventional glass. The innovation is said to be stronger and five times more thermally efficient.

A team of researchers at the USDA and several research institutions say they've developed "transparent wood," a glass-like material made almost entirely out of trees that they claim is stronger, ...

Lots of glass surfaces can brighten up a room, but it also lets in too much heat as well as neighbors’ prying eyes. A new metamaterial is not only more transparent to light, but adds privacy ...

So, they used their transparent wood to replace a glass window in a birdhouse. Under a heat lamp, the interior stayed nine to 11 degrees cooler than when it had a glass window.

Zeiss is heading to CES next week to show off its Multifunctional Smart Glass tech, which can float "holographic" and AR content on any glass surface for such things as HUDs, 3D buttons, and even ...

Metallic Glass. Researchers from the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) in South Korea have developed a stretchable and transparent electrode using metallic glass.

Researchers in Bengaluru have developed an innovative transparent battery that can turn ordinary windows into affordable energy-storing smart glass. Find out how this breakthrough technology works ...

It sounds like something ripped out of a science fiction movie: a metal that’s as strong as aluminum but completely transparent. And yet, transparent metal is very real and could soon appear in ...
