Scientists have introduced a cooler and more colorful alternative to air conditioning units!
As temperatures continue to soar, air conditioning units remain a go-to solution for beating the heat. However, they consume substantial energy and can release potent greenhouse gases, making them environmentally unsustainable especially in the midst of climate change. But wait, there's good news! Scientists have uncovered a new eco-friendly alternative for air conditioning that could revolutionize how we keep cool in the future. In their latest report, researchers will present an innovative plant-based film that gets cooler when exposed to sunlight. Cool and Colorful This colorful material, available in various textures and iridescent shades, could potentially keep buildings, cars, and other structures cool without requiring external power. It is the perfect solution for environmentally conscious individuals looking to reduce their carbon footprint and make their lives a little more colorful. The team's results will be presented at the spring meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS), a hybrid event being held virtually and in-person this March. With over 10,000…
