“One of the reasons why #chalk might be effective, however, lies in the properties of its main component, #CalciumCarbonate, which is not only highly reflective but also resistant to solar radiation. This property has led some researchers to use nanoparticles of calcium carbonate in new kinds of "super cool" paint.

"These kinds of particles are widely used in radiative cooling paint, also in our super cool paint," says #JiashuoWang, a student at the University of New South Wales in #Sydney, #Australia, who is part of a team working on #CoolingPaint.”

Making Infrared #CoolingPaint From Grocery Store Items (w/Novel CaCO₃ Microsphere Synthesis)

Citizen scientist and youtuber #NightHawkInLight invented an easy method of producing sky cooling paint at home with common grocery and hardware store items. 🤯

This kind of paint could be used to cool buildings passively. It radiates heat at certain wavelengths which pass directly to the cold space.
