"Reflective 'Cooling Glass' May Combat Climate Change by Bouncing Back Solar Rays"

Scientists have developed a "cooling glass" coating capable of reflecting 99 percent of solar radiation back into space, potentially helping to combat climate change by cooling the Earth. This durable, ceramic-based paint can withstand extreme temperatures and exposure to various elements, offering a long-lasting solution with a lifespan of at least 30 years. The technology leverages the atmospheric transparency window to release heat into space without warming the atmosphere, which could reduce reliance on air conditioning and contribute to global cooling efforts. The research has been published in the journal Science.

"Revolutionary Technology Converts Greenhouse Emissions into Valuable Industrial Materials"

Researchers at Ruhr-University Bochum have developed a novel catalyst system that can efficiently convert CO2 into carbon monoxide (CO), a valuable industrial resource, using homogeneous electrocatalysis. This system, which operates without the need to chemically bond the catalysts to the electrode surface, has shown the potential to work under industrial conditions with high efficiency and stability over 100 hours. This breakthrough could pave the way for practical applications in recycling CO2 and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
