[Figure 1] Schematic and real-world photos of colorful radiation-cooling liquid crystal material

Caption

(Left) Schematic depicting the molecular arrangement and light-matter interaction in the cooling material: a photonic crystal based on spiral liquid crystals.

(Right) Actual photographs of the materials in a variety of colors. Full-domain color is achieved by controlling the amount of additives (i.e., chiral dopants).
