Air conditioners are gradually becoming more common here as well—but they consume vast amounts of energy. A newly developed ...

Every summer, heatwaves keep smashing records. The World Meteorological Organization reported that the past seven years were ...

We already have commercial paints with radiative cooling properties that remove heat from surfaces, and solar reflective paint that reflects sunlight to cool buildings to a certain extent.

A research team from the Harbin Institute of Technology have fabricated tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide (WₓV₁₋ₓO₂) films that ...

The innovative biodegradable metafilm from PLA enhances passive radiative cooling, addressing energy efficiency and environmental challenges in technologies.

A beam of energy hit the slab of rock, which quickly began to glow. Pieces cracked off, sparks ricocheted, and dust whirled ...

To cut emissions and reduce energy bills, an international engineering team has created the whitest paint coating yet—with ...

A new biodegradable film developed by scientists in China and Australia could slash building energy use by up to 20 per cent and keep surfaces up to 9.2C cooler without using any electricity ...

This enables the building to stay cooler than the surrounding air ... It continued to cool surfaces by up to 6.5C under those conditions. “Most existing passive radiative cooling systems rely on ...

Our sun, currently in its prime, is expected to shine for another 5 billion years. Eventually, it will transform into a red ...

The design by SOM features staggered floor plates and double-height openings that promote airflow and daylight.
