While anti-fog sprays work to a certain extent, warming a glass surface is a better way of keeping it fog-free. A new coating material is designed to do so, and it utilizes light-absorbing gold ...

As the demand for more reliable power systems grows in the renewable energy sector, the race is on to develop batteries that ...

While zinc-based batteries are safer and more cost-effective than industry-standard lithium-ion batteries, gold might help ...

A gold nanolayer applied directly to zinc metal electrodes can suppress the spiky metal growths known as dendrites that destroy rechargeable zinc-ion batteries from the inside out. The approach, ...

A group of Swiss researcher have found a cost-effective way to end one of the banes of eyeglass-wearers everywhere—foggy lenses. The unlikely solution may surprise you. Thanks to advancements and ...

Researchers have developed a new transparent gold nanocoating that harnesses sunlight to heat the lenses of glasses, thereby preventing them from fogging in humid conditions. This coating could ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed an ultrathin, gold-based transparent coating that is able to convert sunlight into heat. It can be applied to glass and other surfaces to prevent them from ...
