A smart window grows a silver shield to keep sunlight's heat out

A window can admit welcome daylight but also let in unwanted heat, taxing air conditioning systems. Darkening the glass helps control glare, but the absorption of sunlight warms it. An ideal window would block more incoming heat while also letting trapped heat escape.

The desire to be remembered may be linked to better mental health

Most people, at some point, wonder what will remain of them after they are gone. Will their family remember them? Will something they created, taught or contributed continue to matter? A new study suggests that this deeply human desire may be connected to mental health. Researche
