Melting ice, more rain drive Southern Ocean cooling
Global climate models predict that the ocean around Antarctica should be warming, but in reality, those waters have cooled over most of the past four decades. The discrepancy between model…
Cooling materials — Out of the 3D printer
Rapid, localized heat management is essential for electronic devices and could have applications ranging from wearable materials to burn treatment. While so-called thermoelectric materials convert temperature differences to electrical voltage…
Phoenix galaxy cluster in the act of extreme cooling
The core of a massive cluster of galaxies appears to be pumping out far more stars than it should. Now researchers at MIT and elsewhere have discovered a key ingredient…
Crystal-Based Cooling Technology Could Offer Sustainable Solution for Fridges and Air Conditioners
A novel crystal-based technology has been identified as a potential solution for sustainable cooling systems. Current refrigeration and air conditioning devices rely on liquid-based systems to absorb heat through evaporation…
Red Magic 10 Pro Series Confirmed to Get Ice X Cooling System With Liquid Metal
Red Magic 10 Pro series is set to launch in China on November 13. It is expected to include a Red Magic 10 Pro and a Red Magic 10 Pro+ variant,…
Global South cities lack cooling green spaces
Cities in the Global South are more exposed to extreme heat because they lack cooling green spaces, new research shows. The study found that Global South cities have just 70%…
A 2D device for quantum cooling
To perform quantum computations, quantum bits (qubits) must be cooled down to temperatures in the millikelvin range (close to -273 Celsius), to slow down atomic motion and minimize noise. However,…
Cooling ‘blood oranges’ could make them even healthier — a bonus for consumers
An orange teeming with antioxidants and other health benefits may be a shot in the arm for consumers and citrus growers, if the fruit is stored at cool temperatures, a…
Research explores the cooling effects of ‘scuba-diving’ in lizards
Anoles are the scuba-diving champions of the lizard world, able to stay underwater for more than 16 minutes. For animals whose body temperature depends on the environment, time spent in…
This adaptive roof tile can cut both heating and cooling costs
About half of an average American building’s energy consumption is spent on heating and cooling. That’s a lot of money spent, fossil fuel burned and strain on an aging energy…
