A wave of unconventional coolers are making their way to the air-conditioning market—and aiming to dial down its emissions.

A startup founded by a material physicist has been working for the past seven years to change the way we cool our food and interior spaces, and it's now taken a big step toward that goal. Here's the ...

Solid-state cooling has long promised quieter, more compact refrigeration without the climate burden of traditional gases, but the materials have struggled to deliver enough punch in a small footprint ...

Several companies and research teams are in the process of commercializing solid-state cooling technologies. Once several technical challenges are overcome, the technology is expected to provide a ...

The technology shifts the focus from refrigerant-based systems to hydronics, requiring skills in flow dynamics, pumps, and piping rather than traditional refrigeration techniques Regulatory pressures ...
