Scientists create world’s whitest paint that could cool buildings naturally

Scientists have created an exceptionally reflective white paint to cool buildings. This new coating bounces away nearly all incoming sunlight, reducing heat absorption. Laboratory tests show the paint reflects 98.1% of sunlight, outperforming standard paints. Outdoor trials demonstrated surface temperatures significantly cooler than ambient air. This innovation offers a practical way to lower cooling energy demand in warm climates.
