Researchers developed a coating for clothes that keeps people 8 degrees cooler

Summer might be coming to an end here in the West, but that doesn’t mean we can forget about the impending heat waves we’ll be facing in the coming years. While we definitely want to cut down on climate change-causing issues, some researchers have been looking for more novel ways to approach those problems, like creating body-cooling clothes that can reduce your body temperature up to eight degrees lower than the air.

Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst are pushing the research.
