The researchers produced transparent bricks using a type of hydrogel

The transparent bricks made can be very effective in the construction of the structure in the future. One of its most important advantages is the reduction of heating costs.

According to Tekna technology and technology news service, Swiss researchers have made a type of transparent brick that will allow light to pass through in addition to its high strength. The manufacturer of this brick is the Swiss Federal Laboratory and announced that these bricks can be used in natural lighting. In this way, dependence on artificial light is also reduced.

So far, no type of brick has been made that can be a carrier in addition to insulation. Bricks made from aerogels offer both features. Removing moisture from the air will create a material that exhibits good insulating properties. Expanded glass bricks should be used for proper operation for wall construction. It should also be a good thermal insulator and be able to withstand a certain load. Floating glass granules and air silicate are used in making this brick. They are also filled with semi-transparent air bubbles.

By using these types of bricks, you can create an attractive facade that can attract natural daylight inside. Also, the insulating properties of this brick can reduce heating costs. According to the researchers, these types of bricks can have different uses in centers such as libraries, museums, galleries, etc.
