Researchers at Columbia University are working on new ways to keep buildings cool. They developed a coating that does not heat up in the sun.
, as reported by the Yale Climate Alliance, the material was inspired by a heat-resistant ant species called the Sahara Silver Ant
.
2015, South Yu, a physics professor at Columbia University, discovered that the ant's silver hair coating reflects sunlight and sends heat back into the sky. Now, he and his colleagues have developed a paint-like material that mimics these features. As a result, the coating does not heat up in sunlight.
reflects up to 99 percent of the sunligh
when applied to the roof, it reflects up to 99 percent of the sunlight, releases heat back into the atmosphere, and helps cool the buildings below. It is more effective than white paint, which reflects only certain wavelengths of solar radiation.
