Researchers from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Hong Kong Polytechnic University have designed and investigated a novel coated semi-transparent photovoltaic (CSTPV) glazing for ...

City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) researchers have made a remarkable scientific breakthrough in developing next-generation passive radiative cooling technology. Their pioneering work on cooling ...

Materials scientists have long sought solutions to mitigate the escalating energy crisis and environmental impact driven by rising global energy consumption, particularly the significant portion ...

Traditional cooling systems for buildings use refrigerants and electricity, which contribute to the atmospheric greenhouse effect. In response, materials scientists have turned to unconventional ...

City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) recently announced that Professor Edwin Tso Chi-Yan, Associate Dean (Internationalization and Outreach) of the School ...

The movement of radiant heat -- felt when a hot surface warms our bodies and homes -- between buildings and their surroundings at ground level makes buildings with less skyward-facing surfaces harder ...

Radiative cooling is an emerging technology that holds the potential to enhance the performance and longevity of PV modules. Researchers from the Institute of Nanotechnology of Lyon explain how this ...

City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) recently announced that Professor Edwin Tso Chi-Yan, Associate Dean (Internationalization and Outreach) of the School of Energy and Environment and co-founder of ...

"Greenhouse gas" means that certain gases block thermal radiation. Diluted in the atmosphere, these gases prevent heat (thermal radiation) from escaping into space. Without this effect, we'd freeze as ...

This week, researchers from the University of California published a new study detailing an innovative approach to passive cooling. It can convert the Earth's passive heat into a small but steady ...
