Did you know there's a whole branch of material sciences taking advantage of certain quirks of physics to create passive cooling devices? Because I didn't. But hopefully you'll find the science behind it as exciting as I did!

Big Thanks to Arny Leroy for taking the time to discuss and answer some questions.
