A Material That Actively Cools: Reflecting Sunlight and Emitting Infrared

Scientists have developed a new material that can actively cool houses and objects by reflecting 96% of solar radiation and emitting infrared wavelengths. This material, consisting of a polymer with glass beads and a silver coating, has a cooling power of about 100 watts per square meter and can be applied to various sectors such as housing, data centers, and power plants.
