Researchers at the Spanish research institute CSIC have developed a thin coating that can cool surfaces without electricity, a fan, or a compressor. During a roof test in Tres Cantos, Spain, a surface treated with the coating remained up to 12.9 degrees Celsius colder than an untreated reference surface. The material is largely made of the plastic PVDF and reflects an average of 82.4 percent of sunlight, while radiating 96.7 percent of its own h…
