An international research team led by scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has developed a material that—when coated on a glass window panel—can effectively self-adapt to heat or cool rooms across different climate zones in the world, helping to cut energy usage.

Developed by NTU researchers and reported in the journal Science, the first-of-its-kind glass automatically responds to changing temperatures by switching between heating and cooling.
The self-adaptive glass is developed using layers of vanadium …
