Recently Invented - What Material Will Replace Air Conditioners.

In a few decades, air conditioners may become obsolete, as scientists have invented a new method of cooling buildings that allows for energy savings.

A group of scientists from the USA, Sweden, and China recently presented a new thermal coating for building roofs that helps reduce temperature and energy costs. This innovative technology is the result of machine learning and the use of complex three-dimensional materials that effectively reflect heat.

How It Works

The scientists have already successfully tested the invention by installing more than 4 samples of new materials on buildings. The experiment showed that over 4 hours, the coating reduced the temperature of the roofs by 5-20 degrees compared to conventional coatings. It also helped to lower the temperature inside the premises since the sun did not heat the roofs. Such a coating on a high-rise building can save up to 15.8 thousand kilowatt-hours of electricity per year.

Moreover, the largest sand battery in the world has been launched in Finland, which provides thermal energy production and energy storage. Also, recently Chinese inventors developed a high-speed laser communication that works five times faster than Starlink.

Conclusion

Scientists have invented a new method of cooling buildings that can replace air conditioners and effectively reduce electricity costs. Such technological innovations demonstrate the paths of modern ecological and energy-efficient solutions in construction and industry.
