Electrochromic Adaptive Solar Heater and Sub‐Ambient Passive Daytime Radiative Cooler

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An electrochromic Cu–Bi nanocluster device dynamically switches between solar heating and daytime sub‐ambient radiative cooling without mechanical motion. Defect‐activated graphene, minimized electrolyte loss, and pulse‐assisted reversible electrodeposition enable opposite solar and mid‐infrared modulation in one opaque platform, establishing a design ...

Development of a Relationship between Pavement Condition Index and Riding Quality Index on Rural Roads: A Case Study in China

Mathematics
The current standard for evaluating road conditions worldwide relies primarily on the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) and the International Roughness Index (IRI). The IRI can be further calculated to obtain the Riding Quality Index (RQI).
