When ‘cooling glass’ plays cosmic heat

Hello, dear readers of Cool Space! They’re ready to jump right into the exciting world of “cooling glass” that makes the heat of space seem like child’s play. Yes, it’s as cool as it sounds! So, imagine the brilliant brains at the University of Maryland, who are on an epic mission to combat global warming. How? With glass so refreshing that it can lower indoor temperatures without the need for electricity. Yes, you read that right, a magic glass!

This glass can cause the temperature below it to drop by 3.5 degrees Celsius at midday. It’s like having your own space weather control! But how does this technological marvel work? First, it reflects up to 99% of solar radiation, preventing our buildings from turning into saunas. Imagine your house cool as a cucumber! And here comes the crazy part: this glass emits heat into outer space, where temperatures are so low they would make you shiver more than a horror movie. In simpler terms, this glass uses “radiative cooling “Space is like the best air conditioning in the universe! Glass throws heat into the cold sky and manages to cool things down in epic fashion. That’s where the “atmospheric transparency window” comes in to throw that heat out to infinity and beyond!

Guys, this glass is not just a simple crystal, it’s the environmental ninja! It can withstand water, ultraviolet rays, dirt and even flames. Imagine a glass that is stronger than your grandmother playing bingo! The best part? This glass can be the new look for your favorite tile, brick or metal. Literally, the glass of the party! The brains behind this innovation have brought to life more than just a new material, it is like the Mozart of the fight against climate change. Reducing the use of air conditioning is a big step towards a cooler, greener world, according to Professor Liangbing Hu, and is an important key to solving the climate change dilemma. Applause for the refreshing glass!

So, while these scientific superheroes continue to test and improve their creation, they have launched a startup called CeraCool to bring this technology to the real world. Get ready, because the refreshing glass is coming to change the game!
