A new kind of mirror is emerging from quantum physics labs, one that exists not as a chunk of polished glass but as a ...

Yasusei Yamada (Senior Researcher) and others of Energy Control Thin Film Group have developed a new switchable mirror with a visible transmittance of over 70% in the transparent state. Window glass ...

Researchers have uncovered a material perception mechanism with which humans discriminate between reflective and transparent materials (mirror and glass). The research team discovered that the brain ...

Semi-transparent perovskite solar cells have been created that demonstrate high-power conversion efficiency and transmit visible light while blocking infrared light, making them great candidates for ...

A new liquid-crystal device reflects different colors of light with increasing applied voltages, transitioning from mostly transparent to almost mirrorlike (ACS Photonics 2014, DOI: 10.1021/ph500259h) ...
