A clear new material could make windows super efficient
MOCHI uses microscopic, air-filled channels to stop heat in its tracks while remaining nearly crystal clear. If scaled up, it could transform windows into powerful energy savers and solar harvesters.

Eddie Gonzales Jr. – MessageToEagle.com – Physicists at CU 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 version of Bubble Wrap. The team’s material, called Mesoporous Optically Clear Heat Insulator (MOCHI), is available in large slabs or thin […]
