"China's Self-Cleaning Glass Just Made American Windows Obsolete": Revolutionary Electric Fields Clear Dust With Zero Effort
IN A NUTSHELL ✨ Scientists at Zhejiang University have developed a new type of self-cleaning glass using electric fields. using electric fields. 🔍 The glass can remove up to 98% of particles without water or chemicals, using minimal energy. can remove up to 98% of particles without water or chemicals, using minimal energy. 🌿 It not only cleans but also prevents new dust from settling, offering a sustainable solution for various industries. 🏢 Potential applications include solar panels, car windshields, and skyscraper windows, where clear visibility is crucial. The world of innovation continues to surprise us with groundbreaking advancements. A team of scientists at Zhejiang University in Eastern China has developed a revolutionary self-cleaning glass that could transform the way we maintain surfaces. This glass, embedded with electrodes driven by electric fields, can remove dust particles in seconds, without the need for water or chemicals. It offers a sustainable solution to a pervasive problem, potentially reducing the time, effort, and cost associated with cleaning surfaces like windows and solar panels. This technological leap raises intriguing questions about the future of glass maintenance and its impact on industries reliant on clear, clean surfaces. Revolutionary Self-Cleaning Technology The development of electric-field-driven self-cleaning glass marks a significant innovation in surface maintenance technology. Traditional cleaning methods often struggle in dry, dusty environments and require frequent maintenance. In contrast, this new approach utilizes electric fields to move and detach particles from the glass surface. This technology is akin to electrodynamic screens, which have already shown promise in extraterrestrial applications, such as dust removal on Mars rovers. However, past efforts have been hampered by a limited understanding of the mechanics involved in particle movement and detachment. By delving into the interplay between particle size and electric field strength, the Chinese researchers have crafted a thin, transparent glass that effectively cleans both organic and inorganic particles without manual intervention. This advance not only simplifies maintenance but also holds potential for a wide range of applications. China Stuns Aviation World With 2-Ton eVTOL as Expert Declares 'This Is the Death of the Helicopter Era' Dual Benefits: Cleaning and Prevention Beyond its impressive cleaning capabilities, the self-cleaning glass also offers preventive benefits. When activated, the electric field repels airborne charged particles, reducing the accumulation of dust on the glass surface. This 'particle shielding effect' significantly limits dust buildup, even in challenging environments such as sandstorms or dusty weather conditions. The glass's transparency makes it ideal for applications where clear visibility is crucial. It minimally impacts visible light transmission, with most light loss occurring in the infrared spectrum. This characteristic makes it particularly suitable for solar panels, car windshields, greenhouse roofs, and high-rise building windows. The potential to maintain clarity and energy efficiency with minimal intervention is a game-changer for these sectors. 'They Want to Rewrite Nature With Cement': CO₂-Eating Buildings Backed by Elites While Workers and Architects Call It a Dangerous Scam Practical and Scalable Design The practicality of this new self-cleaning glass extends beyond its functionality. The design process involves etching electrodes onto a glass sheet and covering them with a protective film, utilizing common materials and established manufacturing methods. This compatibility with current industrial practices ensures that the glass can be produced efficiently and at scale, without the need for costly or specialized equipment. The study, published in the journal Advanced Science, highlights the ease with which this glass can be integrated into existing production lines. Its simplicity and cost-effectiveness make it an attractive option for industries that prioritize both innovation and sustainability. By reducing the reliance on water and chemicals, this technology not only offers an environmentally friendly solution but also aligns with the growing demand for sustainable practices. Artificial Cell Sparks Controversy as It Moves Without Motors Using 'Pure Chemistry Alone' in What Scientists Call a Dangerous Leap Toward Synthetic Life Potential Impact Across Industries The implications of this innovative glass technology extend across various industries. For solar panel manufacturers, it offers a way to maintain panel efficiency by keeping surfaces clean and free of dust, potentially increasing energy yield. In the automotive industry, self-cleaning windshields could enhance driver safety by ensuring clear visibility in adverse weather conditions. Building maintenance could also benefit significantly, particularly in urban environments where high-rise windows are difficult and costly to clean. By reducing maintenance costs and frequency, building owners could improve operational efficiency and sustainability. As industries grapple with the challenges of maintaining clean, clear surfaces, this technology provides a promising and practical solution.

Can Formula E drive electric mobility in road cars?
In front of a crowd of thousands, a pack of high-powered electric racing cars tore through the Excel London exhibition centre last weekend in the final rounds of the Formula E World Championship. At the two races in London that concluded the 2024-25 championship of this all-electric series, there was action aplenty, with crashes, daring overtakes and tensions over strategy between drivers and their teams. While the drama of Formula E (FE) is beyond dispute, the series has grander ambitions than entertainment: it states that it wants to 'accelerate change towards an electric future'. To achieve this, it states that it wants to alter perceptions and speed the switch to electric vehicles, by becoming to be a 'test bed' for low-carbon technologies. After concluding its 11th season, is FE realising its purpose? Johnny Herbert, 61, a British driver who scored multiple victories in Formula One and who now acts as a global brand ambassador for Lola Cars, which is involved in FE through its Lola Yamaha ABT team, cautions that electrification is still in its 'early stages' both on the racetrack and in road transport. Driven to the future 'It's not totally accepted [in road cars] but eventually it will be the norm and the same for FE, because the technology will only advance,' he said. The series is 'pushing the boundaries' technologically by using more sustainable materials, Mr Herbert says as he points at a piece of bodywork made from the natural fibre hemp. The short history of FE demonstrates of how electric mobility is improving. In the inaugural season, in 2014-15, and in the next three seasons, drivers had to swap cars mid-race because the batteries could not last for a whole race. Now a single car is enough. 'That [type of improvement] will feed down to road-car technology,' Mr Herbert said. 'Motorsport, it can advance the technology very, very quickly.' Julia Pallé, Formula E's vice president for sustainability, describes the series as having a mission to support electrification and, beyond that, to support 'sustainable human progress' by highlighting what technology can do to solve problems. 'We're technology optimists,' she said. 'We want to inspire people to adopt. The technology revolves mostly around battery software and power train. The technology road map is centred around the barriers to adoption consumers can encounter.' A key example of this is battery charging, which is well known as causing consumers to think twice about going electric. To highlight improvements in fast-charging technology, last season FE introduced Pit Boost, in which cars stop for 30 seconds to receive an ultra-fast charge that adds 10 per cent to the battery's energy. In another nod to consumers, Ms Pallé says that FE has a focus on street circuits rather than traditional race tracks to help make the series more relatable. 'We needed people to project that they would be driving electric vehicles,' she said. 'If they're driving racing cars in the heart of the city, [people think], 'I can do it myself.'' On the right track The 2024/25 FE season saw 16 races at 10 circuits, including two races in February at Jeddah Corniche Circuit in Saudi Arabia. Among the other locations where the cars lined up were street circuits in Berlin, Tokyo and Monaco. The cars themselves are blisteringly fast, accelerating from 0 to 60mph in as little as 1.82 seconds, compared to more than two seconds for Formula One cars, which, unlike the electric FE cars, are powered by a hybrid internal combustion engine. F1 cars have tyres with more grip and so tend to corner faster than their electric equivalents. According to official figures, nearly half the energy that FE cars need during a race comes from regenerative braking, which captures the energy from slowing the car and turns it into electricity. Central to FE's aim of advancing technology for electric mobility on the roads is attracting top car manufacturers to the sport, and in that respect it has had plenty of success. Ms Pallé describes the series as having 'arguably the biggest line-up of car manufacturers in motorsport', with 'fantastic household names' including Jaguar, Stellantis (owner of the Maserati and DS Automobiles brands, which each has an FE team) and Porsche. Nissan too has its own team. 'It's testament that there's a need from OEMs [original equipment manufacturers or brands] to develop technology and take that and transfer [it] to passenger cars. That's important to us,' Ms Pallé said. 'We hope for the future we get some Chinese OEMs, because China is playing a key role in electric mobility.' Make or brake? Whether the series will prove commercially successful long term remains unclear. McLaren have pulled the plug on their FE team and Tom Rubython, editor-in-chief of BusinessF1 magazine, says that FE is 'making huge losses which are getting worse'. In the financial year to September 30, the series' pre-tax losses were €78.3 million (Dh331.7 million), nearly 85 per cent up on the previous year's losses of €42.4 million (Dh178.6 million), and revenue fell, something attributed to a reduction in the number of race events. 'They would be all right if they could make money,' Mr Rubython said. 'They're doing quite well on sponsorship, but they've got to lower the costs.' The series reports that the number of people viewing coverage is increasing and says that it will reach profitability as interest grows, while the championship's title sponsor, ABB, an electrification and automation company, recently announced that it was continuing its support. Aside from FE's potential to accelerate electric vehicle technology and to encourage consumers to turn to electric vehicles, another key issue is how sustainable the series itself is. At Change Accelerated Live, a sustainability-themed conference on the sidelines of the London event, FE became the first sport to be certified by the BSI (British Standards Institution) as being on the way to achieving its target of reaching net zero carbon emissions. 'BSI send in the auditors to check that the claims they're making are valid. We are living in a world of greenwashing – people want more confidence it's a valid claim,' Martin Townsend, the BSI's growth director, said. Formula E has, he says, set targets to cut emissions and make events as sustainable as possible by, for example, cutting out single-use plastics and making transport to races greener. Jeff Dodds, the CEO of Formula E, told the conference that the series had cut from three to two the number of aircraft needed to transport the series around the globe. It uses no more planes, he told delegates, than a single F1 team. Sustainability auditing by BSI extends to considering how the electricity that powers the cars is generated. In the 10th season every race except the event in Tokyo used completely sustainable power, according to the series, although overall emissions that season went up from 32,569 tCO2e (tonnes of CO2 equivalent) to 33,529 tCO2e. The series states that it investments in climate projects offset its emissions. Mr Townsend describes FE as 'already' being a trailblazer and, as well as developing technology that could be used in road cars, he suggests that it could influence industries outside motorsport. 'We're seeing more and more that sustainability is jumping across sectors,' he said. 'You used to find that, historically, industry was ring fenced, but now we're seeing more technology jumps.' As an example, he cites the way that vehicle battery packs are used to power homes, often through the use of solar energy. Willem Groenewald, Secretary General for car mobility, sustainability and tourism at the FIA, the organisation that governs world motorsport, says that 'all of our championships are firmly entrenched in net zero'. 'The climate action developments extend beyond the championship through to promoters and partners – everybody is making a contribution with sustainability goals,' he said. 'It's all contributing to a significant impact. FE is testament to that. Look around at what they've done: it's electrifying, it truly is.'
