'Invisible glass' has almost no surface reflections
03 November, 2017US scientists have demonstrated a method for reducing the surface reflections from glass surfaces to nearly zero by etching tiny nanoscale features into them. Reflections are reduced so much that the glass essentially becomes invisible.
