Liquid windows: Energy-saving inspiration from squid skin

https://techxplore.com/news/2023-02-liquid-windows-energy-saving-squid-skin.html

"reduce energy costs of heating, cooling and lighting by optimizing wavelength, intensity and dispersion of light transmitted through windows... save about 50% annually... off-the-shelf low cost... flat sheets of plastic that are permeated with an array of millimeter-thick channels through which fluids can be pumped analogous to multilayered skin of squid... control visible vs. near-IR wavelengths and in which direction this light distributed... Potential: AI optimize for seasonal and daily changes in solar conditions"
