Hierarchically porous polymer coatings for highly efficient passive daytime radiative cooling
Science, 2018 Painting on the cool Passive radiative cooling materials emit heat. They can reduce the need for air conditioning by providing daytime cooling but are often challenging to apply to rooftops and other building surfaces. Mandal et al.

Efficient Poisson’s Ratio Evaluation of Weft-Knitted Auxetic Metamaterials
Textiles, 2023 Auxetic metamaterials expand transversely when stretched longitudinally or contract transversely when compressed, resulting in a negative Poisson’s ratio (NPR).

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2021 AbstractPhase transitions between different aggregate states are omnipresent in nature and technology. Conventionally, a crystalline phase melts upon heating as we use ice to cool a drink. Already in 1903, Gustav Tammann speculated about the opposite process, namely melting upon cooling. So far, evidence for such “inverse” transitions in real materials

Heat Transfer Performance in a Vertical Grooved Thermosyphon
International Journal of Thermofluids, 2021 The performance of a grooved copper-water thermosyphon with a modest bend between a vertical evaporator section and inclined condenser section was characterized for a moderate fluid loading.

Highway to the Comfort Zone: History of the Psychrometric Chart
Buildings, 2023 The psychrometric chart is the most common data visualization technique for the designers of thermal comfort systems worldwide. From its humble roots as means of expressing the characteristics of air in building systems design, the use of the chart has ...

A radiative cooling structural material
Science, 2019 A stronger, cooler wood One good way to reduce the amount of cooling a building needs is to make sure it reflects away infrared radiation. Passive radiative cooling materials are engineered to do this extremely well. Li et al.
