Outsmarting the Sun: How Passive Materials Could Replace Power-Hungry ACs
By TechShots Studio
As extreme heatwaves sweep across Europe and Asia, scientists warn that energy-intensive air conditioners worsen global warming and strain power grids. To offer a sustainable alternative, researchers are turning to passive cooling innovations—such as heat-reflecting paints, evaporative hydrogel films, and radiative coatings—that cool buildings naturally without relying on electricity.
