I admit I didn’t read the article throughly, but surely if it’s impossiblely thin it can’t exist. I only bring this up because I’m an obnoxious pedant.
i just read the title and it sounds like it will freeze people to death
I would require a wet T shirt contest to really see and compare.
Same. Guess I won’t bother looking into it if it’s impossible 🤷♀️
“This is thin.”
“Impossibly thin!”
“No… I’m pretty sure it’s possible considering we are holding it right this very second.”
Made of plastic… Just what we need!
If we can recycle single use plastic into this, then great. Somehow I doubt that’s how it would be made.
If we can recycle single use plastic into this, then great.
They won’t - they’ll just use “Recycling!” as a pretext to continue business as usual… which was the whole point of “Recycling!” in the first place.
Disagree. Even if we could, from what I understand, large, solid pieces of plastic are better than extremely small, thin, fragile pieces since those are going to turn into microplastics and get everywhere. I’d rather have them in one big chunk.

I mean, I get it that Fahrenheit is stupid, but this is an American publication.
Fahrenheit is fine for temperatures that humans can experience in our environment (and expect to survive, at least for a little while…)
I am mostly weirded out by the position of the zero. In Celsuis, zero is in the point that very visibly impacts the world. In Farenheit? Random winter temperature.
I guess. But having friends from all over the planet, it becomes a pain running conversions just to have a conversation.
I mean if you need to be using precise temperature units just to have a conversation… Maybe find less particular friends?
Friend: Hey, what’s the temperature? Me: Like 74°F Friend: I don’t understand… Me: Sucks to be you! You require precise temperature units and I follow advice from randos on the internet. See ya! 👋🥴
Or, just, like,
“Pretty warm but I’m not complaining, you?”
You’re the one that brought units into it in your example. Maybe you’re the bad friend?
You want it to be true so bad. What if I’m not discussing the current location? What if I’m explaining where I’m from? We’re both in a mild, Mediterranean climate and I’m saying “oh it’s freezing back home” wtf does this mean? Are you suggesting we do away with measuring temperature at all?
I only brought “precise temperature units” into my example because you brought it up. 😒
Fahrenheit is superior to Celsius because it’s more specific and I will die on this hill. 71F feels different than 72F and yet they’re both 22C (for example).
Metric is better than imperial, though. Obviously.
Ever heard of tenths? 22.1C isn’t noticeably different than 22.2C. And yet both are 72F.
Tenths of a degree are more noticeable in Fahrenheit than in Celsius for the same reason.
But you’re using more digits, like if you’re writing 104.2 that’s 4 digits and still not as accurate as using four digits in Celsius like 41.12
Sure, but I never see people use two decimal points in real life when using Celsius to describe weather.
Nobody uses decimal points in Fahrenheit, but it’s common using Celsius
The only time I’ve seen Fahrenheit with decimal points is the saying that the normal body temperature is 98.7F
Which is actually wrong, this is 37C, already a mild fever
98.0F/36.6C is actually the normal body temperature
This logic is very unsound.
Nighthawkinlight just released a video on a material that accomplishes this that you could make at home.
So different thickness materials can actually cool you off just from a heat transfer perspective, completely ignoring the PCM capabilities (I didn’t click your link I’m just assuming it’s his latest vid). https://www.thermal-engineering.org/what-is-critical-thickness-of-insulation-critical-radius-definition/
So wearing a thin tshirt in cold weather for example can actually be colder than wearing no shirt at all. Same in reverse. I’m wondering if this material is doing that rather than being some sort of PCM.
A good stop-gap while cities de-car-ify and rebuild green space.
Don’t need to decarify to rebuild green spaces.
Green space was overwhelmingly removed for car space
What are examples of “broadband emitter “ fabrics that I can buy? The only links I can find are for this article.
Nighthawk in light shows how to make your own on YouTube. He has lots of videos about stuff like this. Someone else in the comments linked one of his vids.

In all serious though I don’t think that term has ever been used outside of articles for this research
Dang it. Because something keeps me a couple of degrees cooler than some-wicking-fabric would be nice
lol sorry couldn’t help it, but I agree
It’s going to need to be like 40F cooler pretty soon here.
