APL’s CHESS thin films nearly double refrigeration efficiency. The scalable materials could transform cooling and energy-harvesting technologies. Scientists at the Johns Hopkins (APL) in Laurel, ...

Seeking to make cooling more climate friendly and efficient, researchers used an environmentally-benign solvent and a salt – versus hydrofluorocarbons or other liquid refrigerants – to present a new ...

CHESS thin-film materials nearly double refrigeration efficiency compared to traditional methods. Scalable and versatile, they promise applications from household cooling to space exploration.

Refrigeration systems operating at a higher-than-normal discharge pressure can be the result of several different issues. Depending on the degree of increase, the system could be operating ...

The days of the rackety, energy-gobbling refrigerator may be numbered with the advent of more efficient systems that cool with the use of magnets. The idea has been around almost as long as your ...

A cooling system with no moving parts or environmentally damaging refrigerant liquids or gases can work almost twice as efficiently as a standard air-conditioning system, which could slash electricity ...
