Researchers led by Cornell have discovered an unusual phenomenon in a metal-insulating material, providing valuable insights for the design of materials with new properties by way of faster switching ...

Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have designed a new material for insulating windows that could improve the energy efficiency of buildings worldwide—and it works a bit like a high-tech ...

Left: quantum mechanical simulation of the energies allowed for the electrons before laser irradiation. The blue region means absence of electronic state, the white and red ones symbolize electronic ...

From echoing hallways and idling buses to boisterous band practices and shop classes, schools have long been known as noisy environments. Beyond the sounds produced by occupants and vehicles, ...

MOCHI uses microscopic, air-filled channels to stop heat in its tracks while remaining nearly crystal clear. If scaled up, it could transform windows into powerful energy savers and solar harvesters.
