The novel anti-soiling coating was presented in the study “ Field tests of a self-sintering, anti-soiling, self-cleaning, nanoporous metal oxide, transparent thin film coating for solar ...

Amorphous alumina has particularly advantageous properties for some high-tech applications, for example, in the form of particularly uniform protective thin-film coatings or ultrathin passivation ...

Scientists from the National Research Center in Cairo, Egypt, have reported the development of a hydrophobic thin film coating for harvested fruit preservation. Their findings appear in the journal ...

Thin film coatings do more than add color to walls. For example, they can be used as pharmaceutical devices. How these coatings dry can change their properties, which is especially important for ...

Thin-film technology plays a crucial role in combating climate change. The Mads Clausen Institute at SDU in Sønderborg is a world leader in organic solar cell research and has just set up a brand ...

For telescopes operating in the vacuum of space, or optical equipment in extreme environments, existing coatings are often insufficient. In the Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology ...

A team of scientists from Shanghai developed an ultrablack thin-film coating that could improve the way telescopes absorb light in the depths of space.

Researchers developed a WCM based on a europium complex and made a thin-film coating that can be applied to commercially available plastic sheets.
