Making a nanofoam that can block heat from windows. A team of Argonne researchers is developing a nanofoam that can block heat and sound from passing through your window. This experimental glass coating uses tiny gas bubbles to block these environmental irritants, while allowing visible light to shine through—which could save the country millions a year in energy costs.
