Passive radiative cooling is an energy-free cooling method by exchanging thermal radiation with the cold universe through the transparent atmospheric window. Spectrum tailoring of the radiative cooler is the key to daytime radiative cooling in previously reported works. In addition, radiative coolers with large-scale fabrication and self-cleaning characteristics should be further developed to improve their industrial applicability.

- The study introduces a novel device using vanadium dioxide (VO) that can adaptively switch between solar thermal energy collection during the day and radiative cooling at night, addressing energy and environmental challenges.
- The device leverages the unique phase transition properties of VO to achieve a wide range of infrared emissivity, allowing continuous and efficient energy harvesting.
- Potential applications for this technology include thermal management for spacecraft, infrared camouflage, and adaptive optical devices, highlighting its versatility beyond just energy harvesting.
Monoacylglycerols (MAGs) are important signaling molecules involved in various diseases. However, it is challenge for direct detection of MAGs and isomers. Additionally, difficulties in isomer annotation hinders the comprehensive profiling of MAGs and hampers revealing isomers' contributions to diseases.
