Solid-state cooler uses heat to make things cold
Reported byNew Atlas ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and University of Tsukuba created a solid-state cooling device using two shape-memory alloy films that converts waste heat directly into mechanical motion and then into cooling, potentially allowing hot electronics to recycle their own heat for temperature control.
This is experimental technology; commercial applications and deployment timeline are not discussed in the article.
