Haven't scientists discovered that if you make a material that is reflective in visible and ultraviolet light yet dark in the infrared spectrum it will reflect the sun's light and radiate heat at the same time making it possible to be several degrees cooler than ambient temperatures?
No. It's a frequency band in IR that is dependent on the atmospheric gases opacity or reflectance or something.
