Abstract

Cooling Technology Passive radiative cooling relies on materials that emit infrared radiation through an atmospheric window of low energy absorption, thereby using outer space as a cold sink. Li et al. found a paint-like material that allowed for daytime, subambient daytime cooling. Calcium carbonate particles with a wide size distribution were mixed with acrylic and the resulting paint was field tested to demonstrate the cooling capabilities. Passively providing cooling may help mitigate the need for air conditioning and easy application is a key incentive for adopting the technology. Cell Rep. Phys. Sci. 1 , 100221 (2020).
