An experiment in China revealed that a biodegradable 'passive cooling' wrapper can keep ice cream intact for 80 minutes in sunlight, showing potential in a warming climate.
Jia Zhu, leading the study, indicated that such materials could be significant in combating climate change, as seen in their impact on glacier height when used over Tianshan Glacier.
The research highlights a growing trend of materials-based green-technology advancements in Asia, contributing to the region's dominance in materials science and innovation.
Zhu emphasizes the innovative potential of manipulating light and heat with materials, noting that these efforts are part of a larger investigation into sustainable energy solutions.
