Translucency, at its essence, is an optical property that enables the total or partial passage of light through materials, without providing a clear view of the objects behind them. Despite its ...

A group of researchers from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm has developed Optically Transparent Wood (TW), a new material that could greatly impact the way we develop our architectural ...

Researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden have announced an improvement for their transparent wood first introduced five years ago. The new research has made their composite material ...

For tens of thousands of years, humans have been drawn to wood as a construction material due to its strength, low cost and abundance, and lately we're seeing how transparency could be added to this ...

(Nanowerk News) Some materials are transparent to light of a certain frequency. When such light is shone on them, electrical currents can still be generated, contrary to previous assumptions.

Unlike conventional ceramics, which are typically opaque or translucent, transparent ceramics are a specialized class of ceramics that allow light to pass through and achieve their clarity through ...
