Ultra-White Paint Reflects Heat and Cools Houses All Year Round

Jarrod Reedie A team of engineers at Indiana’s Purdue University have created an “ultra-white” paint that is capable of reflecting up to 98.1% of sunlight, that could potentially negate the need for air conditioning and even reduce carbon emissions if used on a mass scale. Developed as part of a six-year project, the researchers say that if the paint covered a 93sqm roof area it would be able to create a cooling power to ten kilowatts, far more powerful than domestic air conditioners. The paint is made with a chemical compound called barium sulfate, that is used within cosmetics and photo paper to make them white. The barium sulfate particles are made up of different sizes which scatter sunrays and are able to cool immediate surrounding surfaces. The size of the particle determines how much light it scatters, so a wider range of particle sizes allows the paint to scatter more of the light spectrum from the sun.

Whitest paint ever made is also the coolest

In an effort to curb global warming, engineers have created the whitest paint ever made. Coating buildings with this paint may one day cool them off enough to reduce the need for air conditioning, the researchers say. In October, the team created an ultra-white paint that pushed limits on how white paint can be. Now they’ve outdone that. Not only is the new paint whiter, it can also can keep surfaces cooler than the formulation the researchers had previously demonstrated. “If you were to use this paint to cover a roof area of about 1,000 square feet, we estimate that you could get a cooling power of 10 kilowatts. That’s more powerful than the central air conditioners used by most houses,” says Xiulin Ruan, professor of mechanical engineering at Purdue University.

New imaging system allows us to see UV and visible light simultaneously

Photo courtesy of Jad Salman When it comes to light, there’s a lot more than meets the human eye. While people can see visible light in the wavelength range between 400 and 700 nanometers – that rainbow between violet and red – there’s a lot of information our eyes can’t detect in the slightly longer wavelengths of near infrared and shorter wavelengths of the ultraviolet range. Various systems to make UV light visible to the human eye have been on the market for years and used to inspect electrical insulation and in criminal forensics, astronomy and photography. But those typically require a power source and electronic components.
