What are metamaterials and metasurfaces? Definition, properties and applications

Metamaterials are artificially crafted composite materials that derive their properties from internal microstructure, rather than chemical composition found in natural materials. By engineering the arrangement of atoms into a desired architecture or geometry, metamaterials can be endowed with properties and functionalities unattainable in natural materials

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.

New Paint Formulation Keeps Surfaces Cooler than Previous Ultra-White Paints

New Paint Formulation Keeps Surfaces Cooler than Previous Ultra-White Paints Written by AZoBuildApr 16 2021 In an attempt to mitigate global warming, engineers from Purdue University have produced the world’s whitest paint. An infrared camera shows how a sample of the whitest white paint (the dark purple square in the middle) actually cools the board below ambient temperature, something that not even commercial heat-rejecting paints do.

In October 2021, the researchers produced an ultra-white paint that pushed the limitations of the facet of white paints. Now, the team has exceeded those limitations. Not only is the newer paint whiter but it can also keep the surfaces cooler than the formulation previously demonstrated by the team.
