Yale Environment 360: Key characteristics of moths eyes, which are anti-reflective, and lotus leaves, which are water-repellant, inspired a new type of glass coating that could significantly improve the efficiency of solar panels, say researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The extremely durable coating can be customized to be fog-resistant, anti-reflective, and superhydrophobic meaning it repels water drops so efficiently that they barely make contact with the solar panel surface, literally bouncing off and...
