We report on the direct consequences of reversible water adsorption on the optical performance of silica-based nanoporous antireflective (AR) coatings as they are applied on glass in photovoltaic and ...

Solar drying is a sustainable process that may impact the quality of dried food. This is because, pigments contained in food are sensitive to sunlight, and exposure to ultraviolet radiation can affect ...

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 ...

Precision optical coatings are key technologies for modern optical systems. These complex coatings impose stringent requirements for uniformity, process stability and productivity on an industrial ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a new way to apply antireflective (AR) coatings to 3D printed multi-lens systems as small as 600 microns in diameter. Because these coatings help minimize light losses due ...

Scientists at Thailand’s Mahidol University have developed a new spray coating process which they say could be used in the production of stable multi-layered perovskite solar cells in a variety of ...

Researchers led by a team at Spain’s Technical University of Madrid (ISOM-UPM) have demonstrated a broadband antireflective coating (ARC) for gallium arsenide-based solar cells. The nanostructured ...
