An aerogel made from gelatin and DNA surpasses 100% solar reflectance, yielding exceptional radiative cooling, a Science study reported last year.
The novel approach paves the way for high-performance next-generation radiative cooling materials. scim.ag/7zw

BREAKING: In an unprecedented move, more than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of the Department of Health and Human Services.
It's the first time in history that Nobel laureates have come together to oppose a Cabinet choice.

In the shadow of many conflicts raging around the globe, an extensive human catastrophe is currently unfolding in Sudan. The country is mired in a civil war, which caused 14 million refugees, almost a third of once 48 million inhabitants.
Today, the UNSC intended to release a resolution to start peace negotiations in this country, but while every country voted in favor of the bill, including China, Russia was vetoing it.
The reason behind is simple. Russia needs suffering in the world. The more suffering can be unleashed, the better Russia can act against the civilized world. In particular in this case, there is a clear agenda. Just like in 2015 in Syria, the war propels a new refugee crisis, which is obviously designed to be targeted at Europe and Germany in particular.
Russia is Europe's and especially Germany's enemy. It is an undeniable fact. This is only the latest example that in order to solve the refugee crisis, it is necessary to break Russia's imperial ambition, once and for all.
