What if windows could clean themselves at the flick of a switch? We're not quite there yet, but we are getting closer. Researchers in China have developed a transparent, easy-to-produce self-cleaning ...

Dust on solar panels’ protective glass surface can quickly reduce their efficiency, meaning less of the Sun’s energy is converted into usable electricity. In addition, solar panels are often in remote ...

A research team at Aalto University in Finland has developed a perovskite solar cell based on a “light management layer” made of a polymer material with the surface of leek leaves that can reportedly ...

Glass embedded with electric-field-driven electrodes removes dust from its surface without water or scrubbing, offering a durable, passive cleaning solution for solar panels and other exposed optical ...

Beautiful white wall paint does not stay beautiful and white forever. Often, various substances from the air accumulate on its surface. This can be a desired effect because it makes the air cleaner ...

In a green, clean and technological world, a self-cleaning surface might not be all that farfetched. Last week, NanoTouch Materials, a company of just four employees in Forest, secured a $2 million ...

At CES 2026, HIZERO introduced a comprehensive portfolio of cleaning innovations that signal a decisive shift in the ...

On the surface of the screen, there'll be a fully transparent layer of some kind of metal-oxide-based photocatalyst – probably titanium dioxide, which we've seen used before on self-cleaning solar ...
