A team of researchers from Saarland University in Germany has found a way to turn super-thin, stretchy films—about the thickness of kitchen cling wrap—into smart materials that can bring everyday ...

A new technology has been developed that enables the manufacturing of thin films, which typically require complex processes, ...

To the point where, in most cases, they can quite literally flex and bend without breaking — though not so much if they're attached to rigid materials like glass or metal. Thin film solar panels ...

Thin film devices, composed of layers of materials a few nanometers thick, play an important role in various technologies, ...

Researchers in Canada have compared strawberry growth under uniform illumination from semi-transparent thin-film cadmium ...

its glass coating is often shattered, creating a costly mess, the need for swift, expensive repair, and the total lack of energy production until it is properly fixed. But thin-film solar cells ...
