Scientists have unveiled a white paint that can reflect the sun’s rays off the Earth’s surface, which could help cool the planet.
Dr Xiulin Ruan – a mechanics engineering professor at Purdue University – and his team first revealed the paint in 2020, which can reflect up to 98 per cent of the sun’s rays, the New York Times reported on Wednesday. The paint can cool surfaces up to eight degrees Fahrenheit in the middle of the day and up to 19 degrees Fahrenheit at night.
