WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue researchers have created a transparent polymer film that also conducts electricity, introducing an inexpensive organic material for applications such as the screens of ...

Optical transparency was achieved via 3D-printed micro-patterned pillar structures and a solvent-free monomer. Color tunability was controlled by the thickness of the top transparent electrode, ...

Researchers at Purdue University have developed a new polymer film that's transparent, looks and feels like glass, and conducts electricity. The material is easy to manufacture on a large scale, ...

With the continued rise in the uptake of solar cells, consumers are now looking at less obtrusive ways to incorporate these in buildings and vehicles. Transparent or semi-transparent cells provide ...

Semi-transparent solar cells that can be incorporated into glass windows could transform architecture, urban planning and electricity generation, claim scientists in Australia. The researchers - led ...
