An international team of researchers, led by Drexel University, has found that a thin coating of MXene — a type of two-dimensional nanomaterial discovered and studied at Drexel for more than a decade ...

A new type of aircraft paint developed by British innovators Qinetiq (Hall2B J13/4) lowers costs by reducing the solar heat absorbed by treated areas. Laboratory tests have shown that the Low Solar ...

Nissan unveiled a new paint reducing vehicle temperatures by up to 21.6°F in sunlight. This passive cooling paint uses metamaterials to reflect solar radiation. Tested in Tokyo, the paint showed ...

Since picking up his first set of MicroMachine toy cars as a toddler, Chris knew he had a passion for automobiles embedded in his soul. It wasn't until he started flipping through car magazines a ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University engineers have created a formula for white paint that they say can keep surfaces up to 18 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than their surroundings without consuming ...

What if paint could cool off a building enough to not need air conditioning? Purdue University engineers have created white paint that can keep surfaces up to 18°F cooler than their ambient ...

The materials we coat our buildings with can have a big influence on their ability to reflect heat from the Sun and overall energy efficiency. Engineers at Purdue University have been at the cutting ...

Researchers from Purdue University have developed a new white paint that can reflect over 95 percent of sunlight, which can cool the surface even lower than the ambient temperature. Painted on a ...
