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 ...

xMEMS Labs, a Santa Clara, California-based company that says it created the first monolithic silicon MEMS air pump, announced a solid-state cooling chip designed specifically for extended reality ...

Elastocaloric materials are a class of materials that exhibit a big change in temperature when exposed to mechanical stress. This could potentially make them useful as solid-state replacement for both ...

Donut Lab has released additional details about the world’s first solid-state electric bike, the Verge TS Pro Gen2. The startup claims to have cracked the code to production-ready solid-state ...

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 ...

Some solid materials can cool down or heat up when pressure is applied or released. This behavior enables cooling and heating technologies that do not rely on climate-damaging refrigerant gases. In ...

A collaborative research team from the Institute of Solid State Physics, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has discovered a high-energy-density barocaloric ...

Why solid-state is an attractive proposition, in principle. How a new material offers far greater cooling efficiency and overall performance, along with manufacturing ease. The test results achieved ...
