Using the nearabsolute-zero temperature of outer space to cool things on Earth Interviewed by Tim Palucka
Aaswath Raman of UCLA’s Samueli School of Engineering, the inaugural winner of the MRS Nelson “Buck” Robinson Science and Technology Award for Renewable Energy, has developed materials that use the near-absolute-zero temperatures of outer space as a practical heatsink for cooling objects on Earth. If that sounds unbelievable, it turns out th
