NEW MATERIAL CAN COOL BUILDINGS
Researchers at Stanford University have developed a new material that can move heat out of buildings and into space. The material can cool buildings even on hot days.
The cooling material is a very thin sheet with many layers that could be placed on a roof like solar panels. However, instead of turning sunlight into energy as solar panels do, the material turns heat into infrared radiation.
Shanhui Fan is an electrical engineering professor at Stanford University. He says that the panels have a layer of material that is like sand. The panels also act like a mirror. They take heat out of buildings and reflect the light from the sun. Both the heat and sunlight are sent 100 kilometers into outer space.
The panels are cool to the touch, even in the sun. Researchers say they can reduce the indoor temperature to nearly 5 degrees Celsius below the temperature outside.
Mr. Fan says it is like having a window into space. He says the heat is sent directly into space without warming the air. Buildings in developing countries that do not have electricity or air conditioning could use the panels.In areas where one is off-grid,there is a significant potential benefit for storing medicine or even food. In many of these situations, being able to reduce the temperature is important. And this would provide a way to do it.
The Stanford researchers described their technology in the science publication _Nature_. They say the main problem is creating actual cooling systems using the high-tech panels. It may be possible to develop a cooling spray technology in the next three to five years that could be used on existing solid structures.

ALEX: {A. Are you kidding？; B. Tell me, did anything else influence your decision？; C. Yes, there has been a lot of research into RSI’s.; D. that’s a benefit in the long run.; E. Welcome to the company.} We are conducting a survey of new employees to find out what made you to choose our company.
SIMON: That’s easy to answer. It was your office ergonomics that convinced me.
ALEX: {A. Are you kidding？; B. Tell me, did anything else influence your decision？; C. Yes, there has been a lot of research into RSI’s.; D. that’s a benefit in the long run.; E. Welcome to the company.} Something as simple as that？
SIMON: Yes. It is very important to me. My mother worked in offices for twenty years, and she finally suffered from carpal tunnel syndrome. I have been reading about repetitive stress injuries (RSI’s), and I know that the office set-up is very important.
ALEX: {A. Are you kidding？; B. Tell me, did anything else influence your decision？; C. Yes, there has been a lot of research into RSI’s.; D. that’s a benefit in the long run.; E. Welcome to the company.} Something so simple as proper chair height can prevent injuries.
SIMON: Your company pays attention to the staff’s health. In my opinion, {A. Are you kidding？; B. Tell me, did anything else influence your decision？; C. Yes, there has been a lot of research into RSI’s.; D. that’s a benefit in the long run.; E. Welcome to the company.}
ALEX: Thank you. We do value our staff and have an awareness of health care. {A. Are you kidding？; B. Tell me, did anything else influence your decision？; C. Yes, there has been a lot of research into RSI’s.; D. that’s a benefit in the long run.; E. Welcome to the company.}
SIMON: Yes, I noticed that you have professional training and team-building days. I like the idea of working for a company that invests in its staff.
ALEX: Well, welcome to the team.
