The Kid Should See This 🌈🪐✨

☀️🧪 Researchers at the University of #Sydney developed a nano-engineered polymer coating that reflects 97% of sunlight and passively collects #water from air. The coating kept indoor temperatures up to 6°C cooler and captured dew over 30% of the year during trials, producing up to 390 mL per square meter daily.
