Soft Skins With Reversible Thickness Morphing: Materials, Mechanisms, and Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Evolution of electronic skin (e‐skin) technologies toward adaptive, multifunctional soft skins. Phase I highlights early rigid and discrete sensory interfaces. Phase II shows the transition toward flexible, stretchable, and large‐area e‐skin. Phase III captures the emergence of computational e‐skin.

Transparent Wood for Passive Radiative Cooling of Solar Absorbers

Nano Letters
Passive radiative cooling is emerging as a sustainable strategy to reduce energy consumption by emitting heat directly through Earth's atmospheric transparency window. Here, we demonstrate transparent wood-based biocomposite coatings as an eco-friendly solution for passive radiative cooling under direct sunlight.

Recent Progress in Daytime Radiative Cooling: Is It the Air Conditioner of the Future?

Buildings, 2018
Radiative cooling is a well-researched area. For many years, surfaces relying on radiative cooling failed to exhibit a sub-ambient surface temperature under the sun because of the limited reflectance in the solar spectrum and the reduced absorptivity in ...
