Enhancing radiative cooling with aperture mirror structures - EurekAlert
<p><strong>A novel approach to enhancing radiative cooling using aperture mirror structures was developed and explored by Jaesuk Hwang at the National University of Singapore. As reported in the <em>Journal of Photonics for Energy</em>, the system uses mirrors to amplify cooling effects, by redirecting thermal radiation upward. In simulated conditions, the resultant cooling power and temperature reduction were most effective in the tropics. The study highlights a significant increase in cooling power, offering a practical solution for addressing heat-related challenges.</strong> <strong>Climate-dependent enhancement of radiative cooling can bring down temperatures demonstrably faster and widen the options for designing cooling systems.</strong></p>
