AI-Designed Window Film for Cooling
Engineers at Notre Dame have developed an AI-designed window film that blocks heat-producing UV and infrared rays while maintaining visible light, leading to a significant reduction in indoor temperatures without darkening the space. By utilizing ultra-thin layers with different refractive qualities guided by machine learning, these coated windows outperformed traditional glass in cooling efficiency, showing promise for homes, offices, and cars.
