Bridging Horizontal to Vertical Radiative Cooling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Radiative cooling materials are mature but only work facing the sky, confining them to rooftops. Instead of developing new ones, this system bridges existing horizontal coolers to vertical windows using blades outside the glass. On an occupied urban building, windows stay up to 1.4°C below air temperature while preserving daylight, outward views, and ...

Water‐Soluble POSS Promotes Concurrent Coalescence and Crosslinking for Multiscale‐Reinforced, Coalescent‐Free Waterborne Coatings

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Water‐soluble amine‐functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane promotes concurrent latex coalescence and crosslinking, allowing epoxy‐functional particles to form continuous films without added volatile coalescing agents. The resulting multiscale‐reinforced waterborne coatings combine high strength, toughness, optical transparency, scratch ...
