Merged summary

TL;DR - Nature highlights advances in materials that could passively cool buildings as temperatures rise. The provided excerpt is brief, so it does not identify specific materials or quantify their performance.

  • Air conditioning alone may be insufficient for keeping people cool in a warming climate.
  • Emerging materials could reduce building temperatures through alternative cooling approaches.
  • Such materials may complement conventional air conditioning and reduce reliance on energy-intensive cooling.
  • Technical methods, experimental results, and deployment constraints are not included in the provided content.
