At this time of year, Gerald White is used to selling plant seeds and other gardening supplies, but his customers had something else in mind when Kentucky and Tennessee were hit by unexpected snowfall.The garden center was quiet, but there was plenty of demand for winter items, said White, the manager of a Wal-Mart in

Probably could have sold some heaters if I d had some, he said Tuesday.One to 3 inches of snow fell west of Louisville, Ky., while several counties along the Ohio River were hit with sleet.

We got water, you want to buy some said Pat Heaster of emergency services in Doddridge County, W.Va.At least eight deaths were blamed on the storm.Meteorologists said the snow, mostly due to freezing temperatures at ground level, took them by surprise. We underestimated it, said Nashville meteorologist Henry Steigerwaldt.

In today awesomely brutal-sounding material science news, Stanford engineers have created a building material that exploits that cold darkness of the Universe to cool itself鈥攅ven when the sun is shining. Stanford calls it a cosmic fridge, and it could replace air conditioning. In a fascinating paper published yesterday in Nature, Stanford
cups stanley Shanhui Fan and Aaswath Raman explain how the material works by utilizing the familiar phenomenon calling radiative cooling. It a pretty simple concept: Earth atmosphere is transparent to specific wavelengths, around about eight microns鈥攖his is called the thermal window, where heat radiates directly into space at those specific far-inf

stanley cup ably sounds familiar; as Stanford Newsexplains, invisible light in the form of infrared radiation is one of the ways that all objects and living things throw off heat, from our faces to our ovens. By dumping excess heat through this magical window at which wavelengths go from the Earth to space directly, the Stanford device uses our entire Universe as a heat dumping ground. Think about it like having a window into space, Fan told Stanford News. Let turn to IEEE Spectrum excellent explanation for more: The entire Universe, being mostly empty space, has an average temperature of just under three Kelvin, meaning that it ;ll happily absorb just about as much heat
