It comes in an array of colors, and if used properly, it could seriously slash electricity bills and emissions.

The paint is capable of reflecting up to 80 percent of mid-infrared light from the Sun, which is 10 times more reflection than conventional colored paints.

Meet The Future Of AI. It’s Not ChatGPT, Bard AI, Or Code Whisperer. It’s A Texas A&M Second Year Undergraduate Named Hannah

Posted by in categories: futurism, robotics/AI

These 120 people (91 pictured due to size restrictions) have dedicated their lives, their ideas and often a lot of capital to bring these amazing ideas to practice.

As a chemistry professor at Iowa State University, he is pioneering the creation of novel synthetic catalysts that break down cellulose, the plant fibers responsible for the trees’ height and strength.

“Cellulose is built to last – a tree doesn’t just disappear after rain,” Zhao said. “Cellulose is a huge challenge to break down.”
