A great-looking paint job can do wonders both for your car's appearance and your mood. Walking up and admiring it for a few seconds before driving off can set the tone for a great day, but deep down, ...

There are many reasons someone would use a ceramic spray coating on their car. Ceramic coatings provide better protection from sun, scratches, rain, snow, road debris, and even tree sap. They create a ...

A European group of scientists has created a novel hydrophobic antireflective (AR) coating for the cover glass of PV modules. The double-layer coating uses a silica-titania (SiO2-TiO2) thin film as ...

An international group of scientists investigated the use of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) as an anti-reflection coating for polycrystalline silicon solar cells. “The primary ...

Abstract: The threshold electric field and temperature sensitivity associated with charge transport in an low-density polyethylene (LDPE)/SiO2 nanocomposite were investigated based on space charge and ...

Abstract: Medium-voltage silicon carbide power modules have the potential to enable a more renewable, resilient, and reliable electric grid. However, their electrical insulation, especially the ...
