A study suggests that sapphire could enhance surfaces to be anti-glare, anti-fogging, dust-resistant, and scratch-free.

Its ability to resist scratches makes it an excellent choice for screens and protective coatings. However, its extreme ...

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have discovered techniques to bestow superpowers upon sapphire, a material that most of us think of as just a pretty jewel.

A new study shows that sapphire, the second most durable gemstone after diamond, could be the key to developing the best anti-glare, anti-fogging, dust-resistant, scratch-free surfaces.

dust and glare with self-cleaning capabilities. "This is very exciting since nanostructures are traditionally seen as being fragile, but making them in sapphire can solve this problem," said Kun ...

While not quite as scratch-resistant as traditional bulk sapphire – the nanostructures are comparable to tungsten or traditional glass in that way – these new sapphire nanostructures repel fog, dust ...
