The headline is somewhat inaccurate, the fabric reduces the heating by the sun by 5°C, which is still useful of course.

- tmvphil 5y agoI'm not sure about this particular fabric, but there are materials which will reduce temperature below ambient (i.e. below air temperature), not just reduce radiative heating from the sun. You do this by exploiting the "cold resource" of space! See https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/5/10/eaat9480?intcmp=trendmd-adv https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/5/10/eaat9480?intcmp...
