(a) Tetrahedral neopentyl molecules that differ only in the number of hydroxyl (–OH) groups. The –OH groups are shown in red (oxygen) and white (hydrogen). (b) Simplified phase diagram showing ...

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 ...

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 ...

Chip maker Qualcomm is probably best known for making the processors that power flagship smartphones and tablets, but the company has been making a play for the PC space over the past few years… with ...

The world’s first solid-state battery, announced by Donut Lab, has sparked interest for its potential advancements over traditional lithium-ion technology. While marketed as a breakthrough in energy ...

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 ...
