A new nano-scale thin film material with the highest-ever conductivity in its class

A team of researchers, led by the University of Minnesota, have discovered a new nano-scale thin film material with the highest-ever conductivity in its class. The new material could lead to smaller, faster, and more powerful electronics, as well as more efficient solar cells. The discovery is being published today in Nature Communications, an open Read more about A new nano-scale thin film material with the highest-ever conductivity in its class[…]

SmartCoating brings modern low-energy windows

Modern low-energy windows insulate so well that they can dew up on the outside in cold weather. Now, DTU Energy in collaboration with the Danish companies Velux and Polyteknik will make it possible to equip the windows with a cheap and durable anti-dew coating using advanced plasma techniques. Triple glazed low-energy windows have become sufficently Read more about SmartCoating brings modern low-energy windows[…]

KAUST researchers formed transparent electronic circuits on flexible plastic surfaces

Atom-by-atom deposition leads to low-cost, high-performance transparent electronic materials. High-performance electronic circuits made entirely from transparent materials could have countless applications, from head-up displays on car windscreens to transparent TV sets and smart windows in homes and offices. Researchers at KAUST have found a way to make transparent transistors and other essential components of electronic Read more about KAUST researchers formed transparent electronic circuits on flexible plastic surfaces[…]
