Chemists could make 'smart glass' smarter by manipulating it at the nanoscale

摘要

"Slowly" is the op-erative word; typi-cal smart glass takes several minutes to reach its darkened state, and many cycles between light and dark tend to degrade the tinting quality over time. Colorado State University chemists have devised a potentially major improvement to both the speed and durability of smart glass by providing a better understanding of how the glass works at the nanoscale.
