Researchers from the United States have developed nano-engineered solid-state cooling technology claimed to be twice as efficient as current thermoelectric systems, with the potential to revolutionise refrigeration and climate control across multiple industries. The innovation from Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland, developed with Samsung Research engineers, offers a scalable, energy-efficient alternative to … Continue reading Nano-engineered cooling tech could render vapour compression obsolete

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have made a significant breakthrough by generating electricity from latent heat produced during a substance’s phase transition through the phenomenon known as the thermoelectric effect.  This breakthrough has profound implications for enhancing thermocells, devices that convert temperature differences into electricity. With increasing global temperatures and demand for cooling, this … Continue reading Latent heat energy breakthrough
