- Phoenix swapped black asphalt for a reflective road coating; noon surface heat fell 12°F, but pedestrians faced higher radiant heatIn an effort to lower urban heat, Phoenix tested innovative reflective pavement coatings on its roads, revealing that treated asphalt kept ...
- In a 2025 study, Penn State researchers tested porous PMMA sheets that reflected 96.4% of sunlight; a test box stayed 14.7°F cooler than the outdoor airInnovative researchers have crafted a groundbreaking porous plastic sheet that cools without any electrical input. By reflecting sunlight a...
- In 2019, UT Austin and Lockheed Martin developed a hydrogel system producing 12 times more water than commercial solar stills. 7 years later, its 3.6 L/h/m² rate remains a striking benchmark in solar purificationSeven years after the original 2019 report, the reported 3.6 liters per hour per square meter remains an interesting benchmark for understa...
- From food waste to water: A new research shows how new biomass hydrogels could help turning discarded food and agricultural waste into a source of atmospheric water for irrigation and sustainable farmingResearchers developed new hydrogels from natural materials to capture atmospheric moisture. These innovative materials can absorb water vap...
- Scientists tested reflective pavement through an Australian summer, and the road surface stayed cooler, but midday radiant heat increased above itA western Sydney trial revealed reflective roads cool surfaces but raise pedestrian temperatures. This study tracked the trade-off over a y...
- In 2017, CU Boulder engineers turned glass microspheres into a 50-microliter film; 10 to 20 square meters of it could help cool a family-sized houseA team of researchers has developed a groundbreaking thin film that cools surfaces without the need for electricity or water. By employing ...
- In 2019, University of Maryland researchers stripped lignin from wood; the resulting cooling material stayed 12°F cooler than natural wood in an Arizona testScientists developed engineered wood to reflect sunlight and release heat. This material stayed cooler than natural wood when exposed to su...
