U of T researcher Nazir Kherani and his collaborators at the startup 3E Nano Inc have one goal: to design the perfect window. That includes a nano-thin window coating that can more than double the ...

The measurements showed the self-cleaning nano-coating thin film consistently increased short circuit current, averaging 2.8 A, which is 64.7% higher than the uncoated panel's 1.7 A.

A new coating material is designed to do so, and it utilizes light-absorbing gold nanoparticles instead of electricity. Most of the anti-fog sprays used on things like eyeglasses incorporate ...
