This Iridescent Coating Could Cool Your House Without Air-Conditioning
Tiny nanostructures on beetle’s exoskeleton made of cellulose capture light and send it bouncing around whilst separating it into different wavelengths. When the same nanostructures are pasted to the outside of a house, they can keep it 7.2°F cooler during the day and 20°F cooler during the night.
