Plasma Coating Offers Cost-effective, Sustainable Alternative to Indium
SYDNEY, July 29, 2021 — Researchers from the University of Sydney have developed a low-cost, sustainable, and readily available technology that can dim the screens of electronic devices, antireflection automobile mirrors, and smart architectural windows at a fraction of the cost of current technology. Created via a plasma sputtering process, the team’s technology is more accessible than indium, the rare-earth element currently used to provide smart devices with dimming capabilities. Like indium, the
