Urban areas without sufficient tree cover are significantly warmer than their surroundings. This “urban heat island” effect mainly results from an absorption of near-infrared (NIR) radiation in ...

An international team of researchers, led by Drexel University, has found that a thin coating of MXene — a type of two-dimensional nanomaterial discovered and studied at Drexel for more than a decade ...

Layered perovskites like titanium-added calcium manganese oxide ceramics have attracted attention as materials that can prevent solar heat absorption by reflecting near-infrared (NIR) radiation better ...
