Elephant Skin-Inspired Floor Panels for Cooling
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed concrete tiles inspired by African elephant skin, capable of cooling buildings without the use of electricity. These tiles rely on water absorption and slow evaporation through tiny pores and engineered crevices, which reduce surface temperatures and naturally enhance cooling efficiency through the evaporation process. They draw inspiration from the cracks in elephant skin that retain water and help lower body temperature.
