Did you know even the lightest clothing can create a personal greenhouse effect, keeping you warmer than you'd like? Researchers from the schools of Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Architecture, and Health are investigating nano-structured fabric and textile fibres which can reduce this greenhouse effect. By controlling solar and thermal radiation, our aim is to develop innovative clothing that can keep you cooler indoors and in full sun.
In our modern society, the demand for energy efficiency, recycling, and harvesting is pressing. Nano control of radiation provides unique opportunities for sustainable energy, with a wide range of applications including human-body cooling, building cooling, and heat recycling. If you are passionate about photonics, thermal physics, materials, or nanoscience, we invite you to explore and contribute to this captivating research area.
