Polyethylene aerogel enables all-day subambient radiative cooling

Congratulations to Arny Leroy, Bikram Bhatia, Colin Kelsall, Lin Zhao, Lenan Zhang as well as their collaborators in Chile for their recent work on radiative cooling using polyethylene aerogel which was featured on MIT News. This novel ultra low thermal conductivity...

Congratulations to Lin Zhao for successfully defending his PhD

Congratulations to Lin Zhao for successfully defending his PhD on transparent silica aerogels for solar thermal energy applications. During his PhD, Lin established and validated a modeling framework to understand light transport in aerogel samples. This model enabled...
