Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have designed a new material for insulating windows that could improve the energy efficiency of buildings worldwide—and it works a bit like a high-tech ...

Windows are a huge source of energy loss in any house or building, but a new form of insulation could change the game for home heat retention.

MOCHI uses microscopic, air-filled channels to stop heat in its tracks while remaining nearly crystal clear. If scaled up, it ...

Researchers have long chased a deceptively simple goal in building design: glass that lets in the view and daylight, but not the heat that drives up energy bills. That ambition is now much closer to ...

Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a new window insulation material that could dramatically cut ...

A new window-covering material called MOCHI that is almost completely transparent but blocks heat could significantly reduce ...

A new optically clear gel insulates windows without clouding views, potentially transforming how buildings save energy year-round.

A team of scientists have created a porous material that keeps windows almost 100 percent transparent while blocking 10 times ...

Colorado team develop a new form of silicone that is more transparent than window glass, and a better thermal insulator than ...

When a home is poorly insulated, heating and cooling systems must work harder and longer to maintain a comfortable temperature. This increased workload directly translates into higher utility bills.

A partial solution to these issues is to keep the interior air circulating. Have the thermostat in the “On” position during ...
