The revolutionary natural concept of sweating is successfully adapted as a sustainable and energyefficient cooling‐technology for buildings in urban environments. On page 5352, W. J. Stark and co‐workers present low‐cost, reversibly thermoresponsive hydrogel‐mats enabling an autonomous, bio‐inspired sweating‐like action on building surfaces with a surface temperature reduction of up to 25 °C under...
Buildings can be effectively cooled by a bioinspired sweating‐like action based on thermoresponsive hydrogels (PNIPAM), which press out their stored water when exceeding the lower critical solution temperature. The surface temperature is reduced by 15 °C compared to that of a conventional hydrogel (pHEMA) and by 25 °C compared to the bare ground.
