Scientists develop unbelievable glass that cleans itself with electric bursts — here’s how it could be put to use

  • by

A Zhejiang University-based research team has created glass that clears away dust through electric bursts, reported Interesting Engineering. These bursts eliminate 98% of surface particles, with no water or chemical use required. The technology places see-through electrodes inside… Scientists develop unbelievable glass that cleans itself with electric bursts — here’s how it could be put to use

Scientists turned to a red onion to improve solar cells — and it could make solar power more sustainable

  • by

Red onion dye could be the missing ingredient required to bolster ultraviolet (UV) protection for solar cells, scientists say. Solar cells are typically coated with a petroleum-based film to protect them from UV-induced degradation. These… Scientists turned to a red onion to improve solar cells — and it could make solar power more sustainable
