Case Western Reserve researchers, collaborators create new class of thin film coating; innovative technology could solve major hurdles for solar energy generation Researchers at Case Western Reserve ...

Materials get their optical properties based on how much they reflect, absorb or transmit different wavelengths (colors) of light. Usually optical coatings either reflect or transmit a given color of ...

For more than a century, optical coatings have been used to better reflect certain wavelengths of light from lenses and other devices or, conversely, to better transmit certain wavelengths through ...

Photonic coatings are based on their optical properties which are applied in electronics and are associated with biomimetic fabrication, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, etc. As stated above, these ...

WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed an optical coating system that combines antifogging and antireflective properties. The new technology could help boost the performance of lidar systems and ...

Diamond coatings are considered a key technology for numerous industrial applications—from power electronics to optics to ...

"These optical coatings can clearly do a lot of things that other coatings cannot do," Guo adds. But as with other new discoveries, "it will take a little bit of time for us or other labs to further ...

Anti-Reflection (AR) coatings represent a key innovation in optics. AR coatings are central to the proper manipulation of light, mitigating Fresnel reflection, enhancing system throughput and ...

U.S. researchers have developed a new class of optical coatings that could make PV cells last six times longer than usual, which in turn could reduce the cost of replacing worn-out cells. The project ...

This Collection invites original research articles on optical coatings, focusing on advanced materials, fabrication techniques, and applications. We welcome contributions that explore the latest ...

Scientists have developed a new type of coating that, when applied on a plastic surface, prevents fogging and 'self-cleans', overcoming the need for frequent reapplications. Scientists at Nanyang ...
