Imagine having a control in your hand in which with a button you can determine the amount of light that enters your home through the windows, or even the amount of heat. Thanks to Delia Milliron and her team from Cockrell School of Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, this can be a real thing in a few years. They are developing a glass like material made with electrochromic smart materials. The technology is on its very early stage and needs a lot of more time and research to make it completely useful. This technology caught the attention of other research universities and now decided to work together for the same goal, which is a great thing.
