Engineers from Zhengzhou University and UniSA have developed a cooling fabric that can lower surrounding temperatures, potentially reducing reliance on air conditioning. This fabric reflects sunlight and allows heat to escape, utilizing radiative cooling principles. It consists of three layers: polymethyl pentene fibers, silver nanowires, and wool. The fabric has shown to be significantly cooler than traditional textiles and could be applied in clothing, construction, and urban planning, though production costs and durability are concerns.
