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.
