At Nissan, they thought the same thing and would entrust the reduction of consumption to the paint.
In the field of materials research, metamaterials play a major role, the structure of which can have "superpowers". In a way that natural materials do not. You have to think that, for example, they can change the propagation of light and electromagnetic radiation, so they can be used in many areas.
Although this is still very early days, Nissan has already started developing a paint that can help solve cooling problems. This paint images can reduce the temperature of the given surface. The research has so far resulted in a 12 degree decrease in external values and a 5 degree decrease in internal values.
The project was launched in 2021, but there is still work to be done.
