Transparent windows coated with quantum dots that absorb non-visible light (like UV and infrared) and convert it into electricity, while allowing visible light to pass through. This technology transforms ordinary building glass into power-generating surfaces without compromising visibility.

Why It Matters

It offers a seamless way to integrate solar power generation into urban environments, significantly reducing the energy footprint of buildings and contributing to grid decentralization. This could transform skyscrapers into vertical power plants, making net-zero buildings more attainable.
