“We ready a radiative cooling sunscreen that may not solely considerably scale back the pores and skin temperature but additionally protects the pores and skin from being harmed by the UV radiation,” they wrote.
Corresponding writer Zhang Rufan, an affiliate professor of chemical engineering at Tsinghua University, stated people should adapt as local weather change results in extra excessive climate, however adjusting to warmth is usually more difficult than coping with chilly.
