As industries around the world work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, researchers are searching for innovative ways to replace or recycle compounds that contribute to the atmospheric impact of emissions. One recent doctoral thesis has helped advance that effort by combining machine learning, optimization, and molecular simulation to improve the...

Extreme heat can trigger health concerns for many people. Dangerous and prolonged heat waves often induce area-wide power outages as energy use soars from the significant demands for relief using traditional air conditioning systems. Recently published research in Science and Technology for the Built Environment studied how the make-up of...

Today’s refrigerants come with a host of issues including leakage, emissions concerns, flammability, limited reclamation of used refrigerants, and many more challenges. However, a recent study published in Materials Horizons found promising options for next-generation cooling using thermoelectric technology, which has no moving parts, no gaseous refrigerants, and thus zero...
