Researchers have made quite a striking advancement and have managed to create a microwave-proof material that can not only block microwaves but can also block infrared and light. Additionally, this ...

A group of researchers from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm has developed Optically Transparent Wood (TW), a new material that could greatly impact the way we develop our architectural ...

For two centuries, engineers have trusted a simple rule to predict how heat flows through solids, from jet-engine blades to smartphone chips. Now a set of carefully designed experiments has revealed a ...

Translucency, at its essence, is an optical property that enables the total or partial passage of light through materials, without providing a clear view of the objects behind them. Despite its ...

For tens of thousands of years, humans have been drawn to wood as a construction material due to its strength, low cost and abundance, and lately we're seeing how transparency could be added to this ...

An aerogel material that is more than 99% transparent to light and is an excellent thermal insulator has been developed by Ivan Smalyukh and colleagues at the University of Colorado Boulder in the US.

(Nanowerk News) Some materials are transparent to light of a certain frequency. When such light is shone on them, electrical currents can still be generated, contrary to previous assumptions.

Unlike conventional ceramics, which are typically opaque or translucent, transparent ceramics are a specialized class of ceramics that allow light to pass through and achieve their clarity through ...

At this year's IDS, Lithoz will showcase its brand new LithaBite alumina material for 3D-printed translucent orthodontic ceramic brackets, highlighting how ceramic additive manufacturing is ...
