The whitest paint in the world has been created in a lab at Purdue University, a paint so white that it could eventually reduce or even eliminate the need for air conditioning, scientists say.

What if a building could stay cool simply because of its paint job? We’re not talking about putting flames on the sides. Purdue engineers have come up with a formulation of white paint that ...

“That’s more powerful than the air conditioners used by most houses,” said Purdue’s Xiulin Ruan, lead inventor and professor of mechanical engineering. The ultra-white paint, recognised ...

An ultra-white paint developed at Purdue University can reflect sunlight and make the room cooler. It can reflect 98.1% of solar radiation and also emit infrared heat. This white paint could ...

In 2021, researchers at Purdue University announced that they had developed the whitest paint on Earth. The color is so white that it can reflect over 98% of light. This is particularly useful ...
