New Glass Based Coating Can Reduce Air Conditioner Load
November 14, 2023 | Leave a Comment
University of Maryland researchers’ new technology is a microporous glass coating that can lower the temperature of the materials beneath it by 3.5 degrees Celsius at noon. The new glass is said to be a new ‘cooling glass’ that can turn down the heat indoors without electricity by drawing on the cold depths of space. […]

Efficient Low Cost System Produces Power At Night
August 27, 2020 | Leave a Comment
Researchers led by Shanhui Fan from Stanford University have designed an off-grid, low-cost modular energy source that can efficiently produce power at night. The system uses commercially available technology and could eventually help meet the need for nighttime lighting in urban areas or provide lighting in developing countries. Although solar power brings many benefits, its […]
