A Chinese research group has created a new radiative cooling technology for photovoltaic devices. It consists of a chamber made of ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene and polydimethylsiloxane that, when ...

Heat exchange mechanisms for enhancing cooling performance and environmental tolerance are elucidated. Challenges in extreme environments, along with the corresponding anti-environmental radiative ...

Radiative cooling technologies scatter heat and light into space, which could cut air-conditioning demand and keep people safe in heat waves. It’s getting harder to beat the heat. During the summer of ...

Full-scale structure fabric across 0.3-25 μm was fabricated for enhanced sunlight reflectance (94%) and reduced mid-infrared reflectance (6%). Transmission (25%) and emission (81%) characteristics for ...

Two researchers stand and talk in a laboratory, the person on the left is holding a white fabric square. The University of Chicago’s Chenxi Sui (left) and Po-Chun Hsu have developed radiative cooling ...

Developed by a US-Saudi research group, the novel technique employs two 45-degree inclined mirrors on the two sides of a PV module. On the back side, a spectral selective reflector enables the thermal ...
