Scientists have created a transparent solar coating that turns ordinary windows into clean energy generators without affecting clarity. Using cholesteric liquid crystal layers, the coating redirects ...

The research team’s semi-transparent solar concentrator can be directly coated onto standard window glass. It uses liquid crystal films to reflect and guide circularly-polarized sunlight to solar ...

Researchers have developed a transparent solar concentrator that can be directly coated onto architectural glass, enabling colorless and unidirectional solar energy collection. This new design, based ...
