A cement-based paint that sweats water kept a model house more than 4.5C cooler than conventional white paint

Innovative researchers have unveiled a remarkable paint designed to keep buildings cooler by absorbing moisture. This advanced formula not only reflects sunlight but also releases heat through water evaporation. Experimental results reveal that it consistently outperforms traditional paints in temperature management. Its durability against fading further ensures long-lasting effectiveness, presenting a viable and energy-efficient solution to the pressing issue of urban cooling.
