Researchers have developed a <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/lifestyle/health-and-fitness/article/national-science-day-2026-indian-stem-experts-believe-the-fields-are-going-to-define-the-future-23620006" rel="nofollow">purple fabric</a> that reflects nearly 88 per cent of solar radiation and emits 96.4 per cent of mid-infrared heat into space.
Made with microscopic fibers containing zinc oxide nanoparticles and a metal-organic framework, it stayed up to 6.2&deg;C cooler than standard purple cotton in tests.&nbsp;
By reflecting green light &mdash; typically a major source of heat absorption &mdash; this breakthrough enables high-performance passive cooling without relying solely on white textiles.
