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 ...
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 ...
Scientists from the Lomonosov Moscow State University, together with their colleagues from the United Kingdom and Japan, showed that the smallest structural change in iron-rhodium alloys may result in ...
The Nature Index 2026 Research Leaders reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural sciences, health sciences, applied sciences and social sciences, according to their ...
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!
Scientists at the research consortium CaloriCool® are closer than ever to the materials needed for a new type of refrigeration technology that is markedly more energy efficient than current gas ...
Developed at the U. S. Ames National Laboratory, the novel magnetocaloric heat pump utilizes gadolinium as the working medium and reportedly matches current vapor-compression heat pumps for weight, ...
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 The outdated cooling technology is one of the most pressing ...
