Smart Window Material Advancements for Improved Light and Energy Efficiency

A team of researchers in the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin is involved in developing smart windows with advanced energy efficient engineering materials capable of allowing windows to reveal light without transferring heat-transfer and, conversely capable of restricting light while allowing heat to pass through. These concepts are illustrated by them in two new research papers.

Rare-Earth Recovery Process Enables the Creation of Magnets from Recycled Material

Scientists belonging to the Critical Materials Institute, a U.S. Department of Energy Innovation Hub managed by the Ames Laboratory, have discovered a novel way to recycle manufacturing waste to recover precious rare-earth magnetic material and utilize it to form useful magnets. One of the ways to minimize demand of rare-earth magnetic materials, which are limited mined resources, is to develop efficient waste-recovery techniques.
