The problem of reading glasses getting fogged is universal and people wearing them have been dealing with it ever since.

But thanks to researchers at Switzerland’s ETH Zurich university who are on the verge of ending this problem with the discovery of a transparent nano-coating that can prevent fogging of spectacles in humid weather.

This coating is made using gold harnesses sunlight to heat up the glasses that stops them from fogging. It does not need batteries to work and can also be used in car windshields.

However, researchers are still testing it and according to them this technology is different from the conventional anti-fogging methods as it uses hydrophilic or water-attracting molecules, that cause an even spread of condensation.
