Rice University researchers have developed a smart material that adjusts its transparency with changes in temperature, outperforming similar materials in terms of durability, transparency and responsiveness.

The new thermochromic polymer blend has an estimated lifespan of 60 years and is lower cost than existing thermochromics.

New polymer blend could significantly enhance energy efficiency for indoor space cooling.
