Ever wondered what having a dynamic window would be like? One that could let in more light in the mornings, shut out the glare of the afternoons, and turn opaque when it’s time to sleep?

In a promising development for such a reality, researchers from NC State University recently unveiled a material that could pave the way for this next generation of windows.

This innovation could offer building occupants the flexibility to switch between three distinct modes: transparent, heat-blocking, and glare-tinted, thus enhancing the comfort and energy efficiency of indoor spaces.
