A French-Japanese research collaboration has fabricated metal nanocomposite coatings that improve the insulating properties of window glasses. The new coating prevents a significant portion of ...

The success of a promising class of next-generation batteries may hinge on something almost impossibly thin: a coating just a ...

Researchers at the School of Science, Mae Fah Luang University, Thailand and the School of Engineering and Materials Science, Queen Mary University of London, U.K., have developed a shellac-based ...

A new glass coating technology developed by Exxosqel and Fraunhofer CSP could enable thinner, lighter PV modules by improving ...

The new coating can also repair a scratch in the same location multiple times, unlike self-healing materials that work using bursting capsules of resin. Importantly, the new coating is transparent, so ...

In new research, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory combined computation and experiment to find candidate protective coatings for sulfide-based solid ...

Some liquid-repelling coatings stay dry in a deluge of water, while others rebuff oils and organic solvents. Some can withstand harsh treatment, shrugging off harsh acids, high temperatures, or even ...

The ultra-black Vantablack surface coating material has made its space debut in an optical instrument on board the Kent Ridge 1 satellite. The material’s ability to absorb virtually all incident light ...

Editor's Note: This is the first of a two-part story that begins by reviewing some history and fundamentals of coatings, including a look at where the technology stands today, sprinkled with bits of ...

A California-based defense technology company has announced a major expansion of its manufacturing capabilities ...
