The usage of fans and liquid cooling to keep our devices cool enough to operate may one day vanish, thanks to a crystal invented to replace these systems. According to researchers from the University ...

Regulators and manufacturers started phasing our chlorofluorocarbon gas refrigerants like Freon in the late 1970s after scientists discovered that they could deplete the ozone layer. But their ...

Some solid materials can cool down or heat up when pressure is applied or released. This behavior enables cooling and heating ...
