A report published in the journal Joule describes an innovative paint that is capable of reflecting up to 98% of solar heat. This paint builds on previous models of white “cool-roof” paints that are ...

Radiative cooling technologies scatter heat and light into space, which could cut air-conditioning demand and keep people ...

Professor Junsuk Rho of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Chemical Engineering, who led the 'radiative cooling paint' modeling research. Courtesy of POSTECH Korean researchers have ...

Researchers from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Hong Kong Polytechnic University have designed and investigated a novel coated semi-transparent photovoltaic (CSTPV) glazing for ...

Researchers from the King Abdulaziz University in Saudi Arabia investigated the use of polymeric coatings for passive radiative cooling (PRC) of PV modules. Radiative cooling occurs when the surface ...

When the temperature climbs, it’s an eternal problem: how to stay cool. An exciting field of materials science lies in radiative cooling materials, things which reflect so much incoming heat that they ...

Freelance writer Amanda C. Kooser covers gadgets and tech news with a twist for CNET. When not wallowing in weird gear and iPad apps for cats, she can be found tinkering with her 1956 DeSoto.

A new superwhite paint is so reflective that it can cool a surface to below the surrounding air temperature, even under sunlight. It could help reduce the use of energy-intensive air conditioning in ...
