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 ...

Materials that change temperature in magnetic fields could lead to new refrigeration technologies that reduce the use of greenhouse gases, according to new research. Materials that change temperature ...

A double hetero-valent substitution method transforms a spin-glass quasicrystal approximant into a ferromagnetic material with strong magnetocaloric effects In a study published in the Journal of the ...

This research is significant as it explores alternatives to traditional rare-earth materials, which are often expensive and have supply chain vulnerabilities. The magnetocaloric effect, which is the ...

Brought into a magnetic field, the temperature of certain materials changes significantly. Scientists want to use this effect to build eco-friendly cooling devices. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert!

Gas compression-cycle-cooling is the standard used today for air conditioning and refrigeration. It is an old and very mature technology. The outdated cooling technology is one of the most pressing ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
