The RECM smart window developed by KAIST offers a versatile solution to urban climate control through three distinct operating modes. In its transparent mode, the window allows sunlight and heat to pass through freely, making it ideal for warming indoor spaces during colder months.

One would hope that it always blocks UV.

“heat entering through glass surfaces significantly reduces heating and cooling efficiency.”

Uh? Heat entering through glass reduces heating efficiency?

Who writes this drivel?

“Who writes this drivel?”

Please post the whole sentence.

People who are not smart?

See above discussions of “reporters”.

unfortunately, they use Windows as their OS and when your smart windows crash, they turn into the black screen of death ...

I think that it would work well if you applied a six-month layer of slow glass to your windows. Then you’d have summer sunshine coming into your house during the winter, and vice versa.

I don’t remember who pointed out that slow glass was the only really original science fiction gimmick to come along in a very long time. I’d have to agree, though.

The insurance premiums were affordable, but the one inch deductible was a problem.

I have drapes and window blinds. When you open each you can really feel the heat from the sun. It would be great to have windows that would reflect the rays but also let you see out.

Thanks for posting. Besides highlighting technology, it also uncovered Silver’s massive usage….but only if one dug deeper ( I did).

Few MSM reports Silver’s four year mining deficit. Samsungs new battery ( charge time 15 minutes), this window technology, are signaling a price explosion in Silver.

While the “ herd” still shovels paper dollars into AI and Bitcoin, Silver is preparing ( starting) another historic bull run….Hi Ho Silver!

“Bitcoin”

I remember you telling everyone to get out of bitcoin at $5. One was a “subscriber” who is probably divorced after your bad advice.

You are the laughingstock on bitcoin forums.

“What is a “Pedestrian-Friendly” window? Are regular windows so completely transparent that people walk into them all the time.”

Yes floor to ceiling windows in office buildings with no center frame only edge frames look like open pathways you see people walking headlong into them all the time. Hang out in NYC in the Wall Street area you will see some suit on their phone walk headlong into them. Dirty or hazed windows make for much safer walking area’s. Birds too the biggest killer of birds in not turbine not even close, windows in buildings kill hundreds of times more. Ask Gemini about it.
