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 ...

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 ...

Artistic representation of the magnetic sawtooth structure of atacamite: The magnetic moments (green) of the Cu ions (white and blue) cannot be completely aligned antiparallel to each other due to the ...

The structure of CIT and its high Curie temperature, high magnetic saturation intensity, magnetocrystalline anisotropy and magnetocaloric effect properties. Another intriguing feature of CIT is its ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Certain magnetic materials change their temperature when an external magnetic field is applied to them. This magnetocaloric effect (MCE) could become the heart of future cooling ...

Keeping cool is making the globe hot. The refrigeration technology that keeps your beer frosty, your extra porterhouse frozen and your apartment bearable in July is one of the world's biggest ...

With help from the Dept. of Energy, several manufacturers are pursuing magnetic refrigeration techniques in an quest to boost the energy efficiency of residential refrigerators. The fruits of these ...

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 ...

One of the world's biggest draws of electricity is refrigeration and air conditioning. (Yes, it's somewhat ironic that, by trying to stay cool, we pump millions of tons of greenhouse gases into the ...

Philosophical Transactions: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, Vol. 374, No. 2074, Discussion meeting issue: Taking the temperature of phase transitions in cool materials (13 August 2016 ...
