Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany and Stanford University in the US have developed an energy-collecting device that can simultaneously cool, produce electricity and generate heat. In their prototype, a radiative cooling layer reached 6.5 °C below ambient temperature while a solar collector generated electricity and reached nearly 111 °C.
