Institute of Energy TechnologyOpen OpportunitiesIf you wear glasses, you know exactly how cumber-some it can be when your glasses fog up.
In our startup Solabs Nanotechnology, we investigate a lot of fundamental and applied phenomena to inhibit fogging. In this specific project, we employ a trans-parent, nanoscopically thin coating to prevent or re-move fog efficiently solely based on sunlight. Our coating specifically absorbs near-infrared radiation, which is not visible to the human’s eye, while it retains transparency in the visible spectrum. The absorbed energy heats up the surface and prevents fog for-mation. A global patent application for our technology is pending.
