It could also support new inventions like smart windows that werent feasible for mass production before.
According to the researchers, this electron flow produces high optical transparency along with high metal-like conductivity.
We are trying to make metals transparent by changing the effective mass of their electrons, Engel-Herbert said.
Our correlated metals work really well compared to ITO, said Engel-Herbert.
Now, the question is how to implement these new materials into a large-scale manufacturing process.
The Office of Naval Research, the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy funded this work.
