Why Heating and Cooling Need Better Options  Heating and cooling are becoming one of the biggest energy challenges of modern life. Homes need cleaner ways to stay warm. Shops, hospitals, data centers, and factories need...

For over 100 years, refrigerators and air conditioners have relied on vapor compression, a process that uses chemical refrigerants to move heat. While effective, many of these gases are potent greenhouse agents. Magnetocaloric cooling...

Magnetocaloric cooling depends on two things working well together: the material, and the heat exchange structure it is built into. The right geometry can make a measurable difference in how much performance they actually shows in practice.  The Hidden Bottleneck: The Regenerator  The component doing the heavy lifting inside...
