A group of Chinese scientists developed a bio-based film with a clear message for solar radiation: right back at you.

    Huh… anybody have a link to the full research paper and not just the pay walled abstract?

    I would love this for my house, it’ll be 15 degrees over ambient by 7am in the summer from the smallest bit of sunlight

    9 of the 20 links in that article go back to the same press release. Quite a few more go back to the host site. The links about aerogel point to this 2018 paper on PubMed https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6403747/

    This seems like it’s either AI scraped and generated, or really bad reporting.

    If they have an aerogel that is non toxic and environmentally stable I would love to see it. It’s certainly possible but this article doesn’t show it.

    This could help reduce cooling costs. Can it be applied to existing houses?
