A plant-based iridescent film can cool buildings (and more)
The plant-based coating reflects sunlight and cools buildings, reducing the need for air conditioning.
The whitest white paint there is is even whiter (and cooler)
Purdue's super white paint gets even better: it now reflects 98.1% of the light, and can really be an alternative to air conditioners
New “Super White” paint can cool buildings and cars
Purdue University researchers have developed a Super White paint that lowers the temperature by 10 degrees.
Reverse global warming with radiative cooling?
Half the Sahara desert and a little Australia with panels that repel heat? Extreme idea. But radiative cooling is theoretically possible.
Cooling without electricity: the airgel "fridge" is born
The device is based on a layer of material that blocks the sun's rays and disperses the heat away allowing it to cool without electricity.
Radiative cooling: a device generates light from the night
The device developed by Stanford University researchers bypasses the limits of solar energy. It is based on the principles of radiative cooling.
