Wissenschaftler haben ein selbstreinigendes Metamaterial entwickelt, das das Potenzial hat, Glas in Wänden und Dächern zu ersetzen | Dieses neue Material ist transparent, respektiert jedoch die Privatsphäre und verspricht eine grüne Zukunft durch die Senkung der Energiekosten.

My first thought reading that paper was if anyone considered it for solar panels? Cleaning solar panels is extremely important and is a lot of work with large scale solar production. Running cooler could increase lifespan and this material is a little clearer than glass. I wonder if it happens to block important wavelengths for power production?
Authors say ” The PMMM film demonstrated a high transparency of 95%,”… does the following image look like 95% transparency?
