The way a refrigerator keeps Chobanis chilly today isn’t all that different from how Jell-O trays were cooled and set in the 1950s. Fridges have been built using the the same basic physics for about ...

LUDWIGSHAFEN, Germany, and LAS VEGAS — Haier, Astronautics Corporation of America, and BASF have introduced at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas a proof-of-concept wine ...

Refrigeration and air conditioning may become more efficient and environmentally friendly thanks to the patent-pending work of physicists. The team has discovered a breakthrough magnetocaloric ...

Researchers have developed a promising novel approach for magnetic cooling that’s far more efficient and ‘greener’ than today’s standard fluid-compression form of refrigeration. One novel magnetic ...

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory have designed and built an advanced model system that successfully uses very small quantities of magnetocaloric materials to achieve ...
