A thermochromic film embedded with size-optimized microcapsules autonomously switches between passive heating and cooling ...
Engineers have developed smart material technology that, with the flip of a switch, can alternate between harvesting heat from sunlight and allowing an object to cool. The window-like device has no ...
Researchers at Seoul National University have unveiled a groundbreaking thermal management technology capable of selectively implementing cooling and heating functions using a single material and ...
There is room for just one small bottle in the world's first refrigerator that is cooled with artificial muscles made of nitinol, a nickel-titanium alloy. But the mini-prototype is groundbreaking: it ...
Engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a dual-mode heating and cooling device for building climate control that, if widely deployed in the U.S., could cut HVAC energy use by nearly 20%. The ...
Gentherm has patented a heating and cooling device with a flexible heat distribution system using a thermally conductive material. The system includes a heating and cooling source, heat transfer plate ...
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 The outdated cooling technology is one of the most pressing ...
DURHAM, N.C. – As anyone who has ever parked a car in the sun on a hot summer day knows, glass windows are great at letting sunlight in but terrible at allowing heat out. Now, engineers at Duke ...
