Hi, you're about to get smarter in just a few minutes with Curiosity Daily from Discovery.

Time flies when you're learning super cool stuff. I'm Nate.

And I'm Callie. If you're dropping in for the first time,

welcome to Curiosity where we aim to blow your mind by helping you to grow your mind.

If you're a loyal listener, welcome back. Today you'll learn about a new tech that

will turn buildings into chameleons, a mathematical mystery lurking in our cells

and how to spot gravitational waves.

Without further ado, let's satisfy some curiosity.

As the climate changes and global temperatures begin to soar,

millions of new air conditioning systems are set to come online.

Now, we've talked about this before. The energy that air conditioning needs to operate is pumping like tons of

CO2 into the atmosphere which causes more global warming which increases the need for

air conditioning. It's a vicious cycle. Exactly right and yeah we talk about this fairly regularly on the show because well it's kind of a big deal by some estimates nearly 25% of the energy produced globally is used to heat and cool homes in other buildings. So there's a race

to build zero-carbon heating and cooling systems that's actually producing some

pretty cool tech. But what if there is a way to reduce the need for heating and cooling systems?

And what if that solution came from a little African desert creature?

Okay, you've got me curious.

Well, I was hoping you'd say that.

So the researchers were inspired by this little guy called the Namqua

Camillion. And they're cute, but they're also kind of high-tech in their own way.

I mean, they are. Camillians are pretty pretty incredible as soon as a threat appears they just

sort of boop they just disappear it's really cool to watch totally but here's the
