“Thermochromic Antennas” Created for Smart Materials to Enhance Energy Efficiency
January 2, 2025 These smart materials enable the regulation of radiative cooling in response to temperature changes between day and night or between winter and summer. The study employs tiny crystals, referred to as “thermochromic antennas,” which can adjust their thermal emissivity based on ambient temperature. These crystals can be incorporated into paints, roofs, clothing, and other materials, offering a flexible and adaptable solution. An…
How is the market for electric buses and trucks progressing in the country
December 10, 2024 Climate Change Highlights the Urgent Task of Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG). In Chile, the transport sector accounts for 23% of the country’s emissions, according to figures from the Energy Sustainability Agency (AgenciaSE). To address this issue, initiatives are already underway to gradually replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources. Although the electric bus market in the country reached a total…
