Scientists from Germany 's universities of Stuttgart and Freiburg have developed what is known as the Solar Gate window facade system.
The Solar Gate system consists of a gridded array of pine-cone-scale-inspired self-bending elements housed between two panes of glass in an aluminum-frame window unit.
When exposed to moist air, the bottom layer expands, causing the element to curl upwards.
Conversely, in dry conditions, it returns to its flattened state.
This allows the window to respond automatically to changing weather conditions.
