Now, however, researchers from Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Machine tools and Forming Technology have created a light-blocking facade for such windows that only kicks in
According to Fraunhofer, the facade could be retrofitted to existing windows, either on the surface of the glass or between the panes (in the case of double-paned windows).
The light-blocking components could be made in a variety of shapes and sizes, while the complete facades could also be made to only cover a specific part of a window,
