“Chameleon-like” Buildings Sensing Temperature
We urgently need new ways to control building temperature in a flexible and energy-efficient way…..and the brainiacs are responding I’m glad to say. One of the newest is using copper to change a home’s “infrared colour” to decide how much heat it absorbs or emits. It’s still early days of course, but the work by […]
The Evolving ‘Copper Mark’
