Have you ever imagined that your simple T-shirt could cool you down by up to 5℃ on these hot summer days? Thanks to a recent discovery, the possibility is getting closer. While there are 1 that manage to keep the body warm, this amazing invention aims to offer real relief for those who are eager to feel comfortable and fresh in the outdoors on extremely hot days.

Its inventors, engineers Ma Yaoguang of Zhejiang University and Tao Guangming of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China, took a completely 2 approach. They designed a special textile（纺织物）that can 3 body heat and re-emit（重发出）its energy into space as mid-infrared radiation（MIR）. This textile cools both the objects and their surroundings through a 4 that is known as radiative cooling, Science reveals. This means that even when it looks like you are wearing a regular shirt, you are 5 wearing a device that works like a mirror.

Research conducted at Stanford University in 2017 had already managed to cool the wearer by 3℃, but this 6 trial was limited. So researchers still need to test the new approach to determine how effectively the new fabric cools while the wearers are standing or walking, and not directly facing the sky, like in their trials. They also need to examine and 7 how well it works when T-shirts are not in close contact with the skin.

Inventors Yaoguang and Guangming are now looking out for textile manufacturers（制造商）and clothing brands that are interested in using their fabric. They estimate that the new material will 8 clothing manufacturing costs by just 10 percent. “We can make it with mass production, which means everybody can got a T-shirt and the cost is 9 the same as their old stuff,” Yaoguang said.

So if you are an athlete or simply someone that has to deal with the extremely high temperatures, be patient because your days of feeling hot and 10 may be coming to an end!

Lego: One Step Closer to Being Sustainable

The Lego Group is one step closer to reaching its goal of making all its products from sustainable materials by 2030.

The Danish toymaker revealed a prototype (雏形) brick made from 1 plastic. In a news release, Lego said the PET plastic from 2 bottles makes up the first brick to meet the company’s “strict quality and safety requirements.” One way the company 3 safety is by sourcing materials from suppliers that use processes approved by the US Food & Drug Administration and European Food Safety Authority.

“The biggest 4 on our sustainability journey is rethinking and innovating new materials that are as long-lasting, strong and high quality as our existing bricks—and fit with LEGO elements made over the past 60 years,” Lego Group Vice President of Environmental Responsibility Tim Brooks said. “With this prototype we’re able to 5 the progress we’re making to the public.”

It will be “some time” before bricks made from used materials can be 6 , Lego said. The company will continue to test and develop the PET formulation (配方) and decide whether to move to the 7 production phase, which is expected to take at least a year. One factor the company is testing is how the material can be 8 .

“Experimentation and failing is an important part of learning and 9 . Just as kids build, unbuild and rebuild with LEGO bricks at home, we’re doing the same in our lab,” Brooks said.

The move follows last year’s announcement that the company was making a $400 million investment over three years into sustainability 10 . It included phasing out the single-use plastic bags from its boxes and instead using recyclable paper for its packaging.

Patents also benefit the society 7 return for patent protection. Inventors agree 8 (show)all the technical information about their invention. This information is available to everyone and has enough details 9 can be used by people with basic knowledge to produce the invention. In this way, patents help to spread new knowledge, which can in turn help people find 10 (solve)to different problems or to make further advances in science and technology.
