Abstract

Static radiative cooling causes unwanted overcooling and consumes excessive energy in winter. Recently, two <i>Science</i> papers have explored self-switchable radiative cooling to tackle this issue and promote all-season energy saving in buildings. One fabricates thermochromic smart windows, and the other develops temperature-adaptive radiative coatings, both of which take advantage of the wide-modulation emissivity of vanadium dioxide.
