Spanish nanomaterial cools surfaces by 12.9°C without electricity

AI Summary

Spanish researchers at CSIC developed a polymer nanostructure capable of cooling surfaces by 12.9°C without electricity by dissipating heat using solar radiation, potentially reducing reliance on conventional air conditioning.

Researchers at Spain's CSIC have developed a polymer nanostructure that dissipates heat into space using solar radiation, a technique that could reduce dependence on air conditioning in buildings, vehicles and electronic devices.
