It is estimated that 40 percent of the United States energy consumption is used for heating and cooling buildings as well as 75 percent of the electricity. One of our main concerns in building a house ...

Jan. 2 (UPI) --Researchers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory have designed efficient and cost-effective solar windows by combining quantum dot technology with a double pane structure. The layers ...

Q: About 10 years ago, I replaced all the windows in my house with vinyl-framed, dual-pane insulated glass. I don’t think they were top-of-the-line products. The two swing-out windows in the kitchen ...

Researchers at an American national laboratory have now employed quantum dots for double-pane solar windows that offer shading, insulation, and, of course, generate energy – with greater efficiency.
