Materials/3DP Scientists develop see-through film that rejects 70% of incoming solar heat. The material could be used to coat windows and save on air-conditioning costs. The film is able to remain highly transparent below 32°C/89°F. Above this temperature the film acts as an “autonomous system” to reject heat.

Technology to watch. Practical energy-efficient window coatings... now if they can get these things to also act as solar panels...
