On rainy days, the windows generate electricity using raindrops. Furthermore, they incorporate a transparent heater that can quickly defrost or de-ice the surface in colder weather.

Raindrops aren’t teardrop-shaped—they’re more like hamburger buns, shaped by surface tension and air resistance as they fall ...

Staring at raindrops on a car windshield is more than just a way to get in touch with your emo side. You might also learn some physics. As a car speeds along in the rain, some water droplets slide ...

In an experiment simulating rainy conditions, the smart windows generated 8.3 W m-2 of power with just a single raindrop, while also clearing frost from the window twice as fast as regular windows ...
