Innovative Cooling Tech Promises Lower Air Conditioning Costs

A team of scientists from China and the US has developed a new directional radiative cooler that can be applied to vertical surfaces like walls and vehicle exteriors, potentially reducing air conditioning costs and combating climate change. This innovative cooling material overcomes the limitations of traditional radiative coolers, which are most effective on horizontal surfaces. The technology could significantly lower energy demand and mitigate urban heat island effects, contributing to global sustainability efforts.
