A self-cleaning 3D-adaptive smart window

Caption

Via assembling the all-flexible multilayers of hydrophobic-coating/transparent-heater/hydrogel/PET, the window with Lotus-analogous surface can be in-situ switched between a clear-status and an opaque status according to the user’s request, thereby achieving thermal regulation in 2D/3D scenarios.
