Andre Anders, a senior scientist with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, leads the team that develops technology for "smart" windows. The window glass lets more or less light into a building depending on the climate outside and on settings by an occupant or automated system. The windows have special coatings such as zinc oxide that allow them to darken and lighten.
