Crystal made at MIT (top left) compared to a simple glass (top right). The surface nanostructure (below) provides transparency to the crystal. Ed. Kyoo-Chul Park and Hyungryul Choi

MIT researchers have manufactured in the United States a crystal that does not diffuse and does not make reflections. In the image you can see the MIT glass (top left) and the traditional glass (top right). The work of the researchers has consisted in developing the method of creating nanocons. A crystal diffuses if tiny drops of water can condense. With the structure of the nanocones it does not happen like this. In this surface the water is stored in drops greater than by their weight fall by the crystal. The height of the nanocones is five times the width (below), which prevents the reflection of the light from occurring. Now it is a question of developing a cheap process of manufacturing this transparent crystal to be able to market it.
