A Stanford team has designed an entirely new form of cooling
panel that works even when the sun is shining. Such a panel could vastly
improve the daylight cooling of buildings, cars and other structures by
radiating sunlight back into the chilly vacuum of space.
Homes and buildings chilled without air conditioners. Car
interiors that don't heat up in the summer sun. Tapping the frigid expanses of
outer space to cool the planet. Science fiction, you say? Well, maybe not any
more.
