Interactive shape-shifting display In 2012, MIT’s Tangible Media Group proposed the idea of radical atoms, a new user-interface paradigm in which atoms become as manipulable
High-performance honeycomb glazing Panelite’s ClearShade high-performance exterior glazing enables the optimization of both daylighting and solar heat control. The only high-performance honeycomb glazing technology tested
Blue light transmitting glass coating When it comes to energy-conscious materials, window glazing is one of the most rapidly changing—and internally conflicted—building product types. We desire great insulation performance and low solar heat gain from windows, yet these typically come
Infrared-blocking electrochromic glazing With buildings consuming up to 40 percent of total energy, the race to develop more efficient windows is accelerating. Companies like Sage Electrochromics and View offer smart windows that can actively reduce solar heat gain by filtering
CO2-sequestering concrete block CarbonCure is a precast concrete technology developed to sequester carbon dioxide. The CarbonCure Block System has been installed across North America at concrete manufacturing facilities to store CO2 within concrete masonry units during the production process, permanently
High-strength metals that behave like plastics In the same way that the inventions of steel in the 1800s and plastic in the 1900s sparked revolutions for industry, a new class of amorphous alloys is poised to redefine materials science as
