Scientists Invent Environmental Cooling Device to Cut AC Bills

A team composed of 3 Standford University scientists, namely Professor Shanhui Fan, graduate students Aaswath Raman and Eden Rephaeli. invented a new kind of cooling device that could lower air conditioning bills significantly.

The team explained that the cooling panel is a passive technology that will allow the user to install onto the roof or side of a building. The new panel system also takes heat emanating from the structure to which it’s attached and radiates that into space as well.

The panel emits thermal radiation “within the crucial wavelength needed to escape the Earth’s atmosphere,” said the Stanford researchers.
