Researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have achieved a remarkable breakthrough in cooling technology with the world’s first kilowatt-scale elastocaloric cooling ...

Heat pumps are already among the most efficient technologies for heating and cooling, but a new field known as caloric cooling could push efficiency even further. By using advanced materials instead ...

MEMS Labs has introduced the XMC-1200, a solid-state micro fan designed to address one of the most persistent obstacles ...

As the data center industry continues to advance, effectively managing heat has become even more crucial for achieving ideal performance, extending equipment longevity, and reducing operational costs.

Zebra mussels, an aquatic invader from Eurasia, continue their continental spread after arriving in North America. These tiny shellfish are now infesting Lake Meredith in Texas, raising new concerns.

At 200 micrometers thick, an order of magnitude thinner than any micro-fan, YPlasma's DBD plasma actuator is the thinnest forced-convection cooling architecture in the industry. Following its CES 2026 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Most cooling technology in use relies on vapor-compression technology, which circulates chemical refrigerants through a compressor. “The cooling sector has historically been very risk-averse,” said ...

A wave of unconventional coolers are making their way to the air-conditioning market—and aiming to dial down its emissions. After three years of record-­breaking heat, this one is set to be yet ...
