Architected Spatially Deterministic Multiscale Phase Segregation in Block Copolymer Composites for Augmented Radiative Cooling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multiscale phase segregation in block copolymers enables spatially deterministic structuring from molecular to macroscopic scales, decoupling solar scattering and infrared emission for augmented radiative cooling. ABSTRACT Passive radiative cooling, which reflects solar irradiation while emitting heat through the atmospheric window, provides a ...

Excitation‐Selective Hydrochromic Upconversion in Zero‐Dimensional Metal Halides

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Excitation wavelength dictates whether moisture speaks. In zero‐dimensional metal halides, the same humidity leaves the upconversion emission unchanged under 980 nm excitation yet triggers a distinct green‐to‐red shift under 1550 nm. This excitation‐selective hydrochromism, governed by the absorption at each wavelength, enables stimulus‐dependent ...

Ionically Counter‐Programmable Phase‐Separation of Superstable Star‐Biopolyamide Coacervates for Electrothermally‐Responsive Pseudosolid Smart Windows

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We develop bio‐based, star‐branched polyamides from itaconic acid and cadaverine with tunable lower critical solution temperature (LCST) transitions for dynamic solar modulation. Specific metal ion coordination with pyrrolidone moieties drives precise phase transitions via calcium‐induced salting‐in and sodium‐induced salting‐out mechanisms. Formulated

Observed trends in full-daytime and part-daytime thermal stress conditions in Asia

Environmental Research Letters
Changes in environmental thermal conditions affect thermal comfort, work performance and human health. While many studies have focused on heat and cold extremes, which are typically stressful throughout the daytime hours, fewer have examined part-daytime

Long‐Lifespan Polyorganosiloxane‐Based Silicone Evaporator for High‐Efficiency Seawater Desalination

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conventional evaporators suffer from salt crystallization and degradation. We design a white polyorganosiloxane evaporator with a reflector, achieving 4.344 kg m−2 h−1 at 1 sun in 3.5 wt.% NaCl. It shows over 53‑day cycling stability and 197‑day seawater resistance.
