Scientists Created Materials That Go from Solid to See-Through

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Materials that can change colors (with the help of some electric current) have applications ranging from the military and manufacturing to construction and clothing. The problem has been getting those materials to change from completely clear to a variety of colors, and then back to clarity. Science could never get rid of a bluish tint when the material changes back to clear. But new research from a team led by John R. Reynolds, a professor with joint appointments to the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the School of Materials Science and Engineering, may have serendipitously discovered how to achieve that elusive crystal clarity.
