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 ...

Biaxially textured Nickel tapes with (100) cubic texture were oxidized to form NiO as alternative buffer layers for sol-gel YbBa2Cu3 O7-δ (YbBCO) coated conductors. YbBCO films were prepared from ...

Sol-gel manufacturing can be used to create various high-performance solids including glasses and ceramics. In the field of glass production, sol-gel techniques are a reliable low-temperature ...

A single-step sol-gel process promises to cut manufacturing costs for telecoms components. Terahertz Photonics of the UK has developed a single-step sol-gel process that it says will dramatically cut ...
