Global solar installations are up 64% in the first half of 2025. There’s no denying it: More and more of the world is running on solar power. And with that growth comes even more innovation. In a new ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a brand new, clear coating that can be applied to any standard window to turn it into an effective solar panel – while still keeping the window largely transparent. It's the ...

Researchers created transparent solar windows that capture sunlight at the edges, cutting PV cell needs while keeping buildings visually unchanged. The device, called a cholesteric unidirectional ...

Developed by a research team including experts from Australian specialist Clearvue, the new PV windows were also able to reduce water usage in a greenhouse by 29%. The group believes that a fully ...

Here's the best home energy technology we saw this year, from giant batteries to stained glass solar panels to machines that harvest water from thin air. While electricity keeps all your tech running, ...

Windows are some of the biggest energy liabilities in modern buildings, yet they are also non‑negotiable for light, comfort, and design. A new class of clear materials promises to flip that equation, ...
