   seasons

   As summer turns to fall, many people will be turning off the air conditioning   
   and firing up heaters instead. But traditional heating and cooling systems are   
   energy intensive, and because they typically run on fossil fuels, they aren't   
   sustainable. Now, by mimicking a desert-dwelling chameleon, a team has   
   developed   
   an energy-efficient, cost-effective coating. The material could keep buildings   
   cool in the summers -- or warm in the winters -- without additional energy.
