American  scientists say they have created a new super-white paint that reflects 95.5 percent of the sunlight that hits it. 

The new acrylic, developed at Perdue University, remains significantly cooler than the surrounding temperature in both daytime and at night. 

The team designed the paint with calcium carbonate fillers to minimize the amount of ultraviolet light the paint absorbs, instead of standard titaniumdioxide particles. 

Researchers say and could be used to keep buildings cooler naturally, helping to lessen climate change caused by air-conditioning and other cooling technology.

To develop a commercially viable paint that cools passively, researchers used calcium carbonate fillers to minimize the amount of ultraviolet light the paint absorbs.

They added that the paint has many applications, including preventing outdoor telecommunications equipment from overheating.
