Quick-Cooking Nanomaterials in a $40 Microwave Oven To Make Tomorrow's Solid-State Air Conditioners and Refrigerators

Tuesday, January 10, 2012 - 14:00 in Physics & Chemistry

Engineering researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a new method for creating advanced nanomaterials that could lead to highly efficient refrigerators and cooling systems requiring no refrigerants and no moving parts. The key ingredients for this innovation are a dash of nanoscale sulfur and a normal, everyday microwave oven.
