The material is entirely manmade, allowing electrons to travel faster while remaining transparent to visible and ultraviolet light. This new material is already breaking records and is seen as a ...

Universität Bayreuth Summary: Scientists have developed and characterized a novel, extremely thin and transparent material that has different thermal conduction properties depending on the direction.

The researchers note that end-products could be as thin as plastic cup walls, or as thick as desired. They describe the material as tPB, a transparent 3D material made solely of cellulose.

Researchers at the University of Minnesota have discovered a new material that could change technology as we know it. This nano-scale, thin-film material is transparent and extremely conductive.

The lightweight, gel-like material made mostly of air is 97% to 99% transparent compared to glass, which is about 92% transparent. “It’s exciting,” CU Boulder Professor Ivan Smalyukh said.

The voids in the material were then filled with a mixture of rice extract and egg white before being dried in an oven at 60°C (140°F) to create a semi-transparent plate with a slight brown tint.

Transparent wood absorbs and releases heat, which makes it an incredible energy saver. Like glass, its transparent properties mean that it can also transmit light to keep homes bright and heated.
