New Glass Based Coating Can Reduce Air Conditioner Load
November 14, 2023 | Leave a Comment
University of Maryland researchers’ new technology is a microporous glass coating that can lower the temperature of the materials beneath it by 3.5 degrees Celsius at noon. The new glass is said to be a new ‘cooling glass’ that can turn down the heat indoors without electricity by drawing on the cold depths of space. […]

Roofing Materials Might Replace Your Home Air Conditioner
November 1, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Researchers from McGill University, UCLA and Princeton have found in a new study the use of roof materials that radiate heat into the cold universe, even under direct sunlight, and how to combine them with temperature-driven ventilation could cool a home. The need for cool living environments is becoming more urgent. But air conditioning is […]

Capturing Carbon Dioxide With Much Less Energy
September 5, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Currently when CO2 is trapped before it escapes into the atmosphere, the process requires a large amount of energy and equipment. Now MIT researchers have designed a capture system using an electrochemical cell that can easily grab and release CO2. The device operates at room temperature and requires less energy than conventional, amine-based carbon-capture […]
