Scientists from the National University of Singapore have developed innovative aerogels for radiative cooling and electromagnetic waves absorption. Using plastic waste, the team engineered thin-film aerogels that function as thermal insulators and radiative coolers. These aerogels can be applied to the roofs of buildings to reduce indoor temperatures. The team also created aerogels that effectively absorb electromagnetic energy, shielding both humans and sensitive equipment in our increasingly digital world.
