Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed MOCHI, a transparent, durable coating containing tiny air bubbles that blocks 90% of heat transfer through windows while allowing 99% of light to pass, potentially revolutionizing energy efficiency in buildings. However, commercial production remains uncertain due to current manufacturing challenges.
A woman in Tokyo died and six others were hospitalized after choking on mochi, a traditional Japanese rice cake eaten during New Year celebrations. The incident highlights the ongoing risk of mochi choking, especially among the elderly, with authorities advising caution when consuming the chewy treat. Historically, mochi has been linked to multiple fatalities and hospitalizations in Japan, prompting safety tips such as chewing slowly and cutting the cake into small pieces.
Scientists at CU Boulder have developed a nearly transparent, air-based insulation material called MOCHI that can significantly reduce heat transfer through windows, potentially revolutionizing energy efficiency in buildings, though it is still in the laboratory stage.
Scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed MOCHI, a transparent, fireproof silicon gel that insulates heat effectively, potentially revolutionizing building insulation and other applications by reducing energy loss and allowing for new functionalities in windows and clothing.
Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed MOCHI, a transparent insulating material that can significantly reduce heat loss through windows by trapping heat while remaining nearly invisible, potentially transforming building energy efficiency and enabling more glass use in construction.
