A new coating, when applied to exterior surfaces, can reduce air conditioning usage and combat climate change.
Researchers from the University of Maryland have created an innovative “cooling glass” designed to reduce indoor temperatures without using electricity. This groundbreaking material functions by tapping into the chill of outer space.
The new technology, a microporous glass coating described in a paper published in the journal Science, can lower the temperature of the material beneath it by 3.5 degrees DOI: 10.1126/science.adi2224
