Q&A

Is it possible to obtain a cold radiating material?

Global warming is awful, we all agree.

The problem is that there exists materials that warm up easily naturally or artificially. But, why isn't there cold materials? Cooling something requires energy (refrigerator).

I am going to present a fictional material and I hope you can tell me if it's possible or if not how could it be possible or do other similar things exist:

  • this material would absorb a huge amount of heat
  • if this can't occur naturally I wonder how we could make such a thing happen (use electricity?)
  • and finally I wonder how we could evacuate the absorbed heat without warming the surroundings up again

Basically I just want something that can eliminate the heat and cool the surrounding effectively a place without consuming to much energy.

Maybe I am wrong with the idea of a heat absorbing material but then, can a "cold material" and how could it be (the solution can be completely different from what I thought).
