Fine-tuned gel particles enable smart windows for energy efficiency

Polymeric gel particles have been used to make windows that highly effectively allow or block heat-generating wavelengths of sunlight in response to temperature. Such windows might increase the energy efficiency of buildings. Smart windows that strongly modulate the passage of infrared light.
