Scientists have developed a light-reflecting “ultra-white” paint, which they say could negate the need for air conditioning and even reduce carbon emissions, if used on a mass scale.

The latest whiter-than-white paint may be a solution to global warming, according to a Perdue University research team. After seven years of experimenting with over 100 different chemicals ...

With the ultra-white paint’s 98.1 percent solar reflectance, it far exceeds those requirements. “This is just a whole different ballpark of cooling, which is very exciting,” Thompson says.

The ultra-white paint is the handiwork of a team of engineers at Purdue University, and reflects a huge 98.1-percent of sunlight – enough, in some conditions, ...

The ultra-white paint reflects up to 98.1 percent of sunlight, compared to other commercial white paints on the market that absorb 10 to 20 percent of sunlight, Ruan says.

The paint, created by researchers at Purdue University, reflects 98.1 percent of sunlight and thus can cool down buildings all on its own A new "ultra-white" paint created by scientists may play a ...

Scientists have created a new ultra-white paint that can reflect 95.5 percent of the sunlight that reaches its surface. This incredible property allows something coated in this paint, like a ...

He calculated that if materials such as Purdue’s ultra-white paint were to coat between 1 percent and 2 percent of the Earth’s surface, slightly more than half the size of the Sahara, ...

White houses are often boring, but they might just save the planet. As USA Today reports, Purdue University researchers have developed an ultra-white paint (it just earned a Guinness World Record ...

[KB9ENS] read about a type of ultra-white paint formulation that not only reflects heat, but is able to radiate it into space, cooling the painted surface to below ambient temperature.
