Aaswath Raman
Renewable Energy Researcher | Pioneering Space-Based Cooling Technologies
About
Aaswath Raman explores innovative approaches to renewable energy by harnessing the cold of outer space as a resource. His groundbreaking research focuses on radiative cooling technologies that can tap into the vast coldness of space to create sustainable energy solutions.
Speaking at TED 2018, Raman presented his vision for transforming how we think about renewable resources by looking beyond traditional solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. His work demonstrates how the temperature differential between Earth and the cold vacuum of space can be leveraged for practical energy applications, opening new frontiers in sustainable technology development.

How we can turn the cold of outer space into a renewable resource
What if we could use the cold darkness of outer space to cool buildings on earth? In this mind-blowing talk, physicist Aaswath Raman details the technology he's developing to harness "night-sky cooling" -- a natural phenomenon where infrared light escapes earth and heads to space, carrying heat along with it -- which could dramatically reduce the energy used by our cooling systems (and the pollution they cause). Learn more about how this approach could lead us towards a future where we intelligently tap into the energy of the universe.
