WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Engineers at Purdue University say they have created the whitest paint yet, and it could reduce the need for air conditioning and curb global warming. Researchers said surfaces ...
Scientists at Purdue have created a white paint that, when applied, can reduce the surface temperature on a roof and cool the building beneath it. By Cara Buckley Xiulin Ruan, a professor of ...
Scientists at Purdue University in the state of Indiana, United States, have developed a new paint ultra-white that could eliminate the need for air conditioning while also assisting in the fight ...
It started with [KB9ENS] looking into paints or coatings for passive or radiative cooling, and in the process he decided to DIY his own. Not only is it perfectly accessible to a home experimenter, his ...
In 2020, scientists at Purdue University developed a new super-white acrylic paint that reflects 95.5 percent of sunlight. Since then, they’ve made it even whiter, with a new formula that has ...
