It would be one of those new kinds of material properties that can change the product landscape across multiple categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It sounds like a miracle material, doesn\u2019t it? Let me tell you about a discovery from Berkeley Lab&#8217;s Materials Sciences Division: metallic vanadium dioxide (VO2). A substance with exotic behavior that changes conductive properties at the warm temperature of 67 degrees Celsius; it\u2019s also transparent up to 30 degrees, then reflects infrared light above 60 degrees \u2013 all while remaining transparent to visible light.
