Glass used on China's Shenzhou-14 spaceship

STORY: Glass used on China's Shenzhou-14 spaceship DATELINE: June 9, 2022 LENGTH: 00:00:49 LOCATION: SHIJIAZHUANG, China CATEGORY: TECHNOLOGY SHOTLIST: various of China's crewed spaceship Shenzhou-14various of the glass made for Shenzhou-14 STORYLINE: China's crewed spaceship Shenzhou-14 was launched on Sunday. The external window panes of the spaceship have to withstand the extreme environment of outer space. They were formed by 80 special pieces of glass developed by a Qinhuangdao-based manufacturer, in north China's Hebei province. Made of quartz, the glasses have to go through dozens of processes before becoming special glasses used in space. According to the manufacturer, the glasses need to withstand the high temperature of 1,000 degrees Celcius, drastic temperature fluctuations and endure large doses of radiation while maintaining more than 95 percent of visible-light transmittance. China's crewed spaceship Shenzhou-14 launched on Sunday sent three astronauts to its space station combination for

NTT's Transparent Rechargeable Battery

NTT has developed a "see-through rechargeable battery" (photo) that delivers about 50 times more power than conventional batteries. The average transmittance, which was previously about the same as that of sunglasses, has been tripled to 69%, equivalent to that of window glass. By gelatinizing the electrolyte, the average voltage was increased from 1.7 volts to 2.5 volts, which led to the improvement in transmittance. It also made it possible to deposit the film over a larger area, resulting in a larger battery. Six of the new batteries have the performance of one button battery. The company expects to use the new batteries for transparent signboards in tourist spots that post information without spoiling the scenery, windowpanes that can store electricity obtained from solar power generation, and lenses for smart glasses. In the future, the company aims to add flexible performance that can be bent. Photo taken on November 11, 2019, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images
