Wearable devices and biosensors are prone to heating up, especially under sunlight. However, conventional radiative coolers contain metallic materials, which limits wireless communications. Now scientists from Korea and the USA have developed a new type of radiative cooler using perforated polymers that keep the gadgets cool and fully functional under heat, paving the way for thermally protected wearable devices for health monitoring.
