In which we discuss transparent wood windows that are 90% as clear, much stronger, and insulate 6 times as well as glass with Prof. Liangbing Hu of the University of Maryland and Invent Wood. Then we discuss radiative cooling thin films that can be used to reflect heat back into outer space in the frequencies not blocked by greenhouse gases, day or night, to pre-cool air-conditioning fluid with Prof. Shanhui Fan of Stanford University and Sky Cool.
