In 2025, Monash researchers developed a self-adaptive microporous ceramic; daytime cooling reached 19.5C below ambient while nighttime overcooling was limited to 3.3C

Scientists have unveiled an innovative ceramic designed for passive radiative cooling applications. This advanced material efficiently lowers daytime temperatures while controlling excessive cooling at night. Its unique microporous framework facilitates optimal heat transfer with the environment, tackling a major obstacle in radiative cooling technology. This breakthrough holds great promise for cutting down energy usage in buildings.
