A group of Russian physicists and Swiss colleagues have developed a way to use magnetocaloric heating or cooling of tissues for possible therapeutic interventions. They've published their results in ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The magnetocaloric effect could form the basis for efficient refrigeration technologies. The finding that large and reversible magnetocaloric effects can be induced through a strain-mediated feedback ...

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 The outdated cooling technology is one of the most pressing ...
