Researchers at ITT Guwahati have developed a ‘smart’ window material in May 2021. What is the use of this material?

Correct option is C

The smart window material developed by researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati in May 2021 allows for automatic climate control of buildings. 

The smart window material can:

·        Control heat and light: The material can regulate the amount of heat and light that passes through it by applying a voltage. 

·        Reduce energy usage: The material can help reduce energy usage and carbon emissions. 

·        Provide insulation: The material can insulate from heat and light reflected from neighboring buildings and structures. 

·        Be integrated with existing glass: The material can be integrated with existing glass windows or walls. 

·        Be used in vehicles: The material can be used in vehicles, locomotives, and airplanes. 

The results of the study were published in the journal, Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells.
