JERUSALEM, June 29 (Xinhua) -- Israeli start-up SolCold, which developed a revolutionary material that produces cooling effect under sun rays, completed Friday 549,000 U.S. dollars raising.
The sum was raised in a 60-day campaign on the Israeli crowdfunding platform ExitValley.
The company offers a solution to increased heat emission by air conditioners, which is one of the factors that warm our globe.
The company developed an innovative nanotechnological coating material that, in response to sunlight, converts its internal heat into light by a physical phenomenon called "anti-stokes fluorescence."
As a result, the material cools down just below ambient temperature. In fact, the material functions as a thin layer that becomes colder as the sun is stronger.
The material can observe any object under the sun that requires cooling, such as buildings, factories, shopping malls, stadiums, cars of all kinds, airplanes, cargo, ships, and even spaceships.
The development does not require electricity, nor moving parts to be a 100-percent green solution.
