Magnetically driven thermal changes in magnetocaloric materials have, for several decades,
been exploited to pump heat near room temperature. By contrast, their electrocaloric and …

The search for materials with large caloric effects has become a major challenge in material
science due to their potential in developing near room‐temperature solid‐state cooling …

A large fraction of global energy use is for refrigeration and air-conditioning, which could be
decarbonized if efficient renewable energy technologies could be found. Vapour …

Elastocaloric cooling represents a potentially higher efficiency cooling technique that is also
potentially more environmentally friendly than conventional technologies. Elastocaloric …

Current refrigeration technologies based on compression cycles of greenhouse gases are
environmentally threatening and cannot be scaled down to on-chip dimensions. Solid-state …

Elastocaloric cooling and heating is an alternative cooling technology that has the potential
to be highly efficient and environmentally friendly. Experimental results are reported for two …

Materials with both giant and colossal mechanocaloric effects together with giant
electrocaloric and magnetocaloric materials are expected to replace harmful fluids in more …

Alternative methods of refrigeration are critical for performance optimization and environ-
mental sustainability. Prototype systems using caloric materials have shown the advantages …

This paper presents direct and indirect methods for studying the elastocaloric effect (eCE) in
shape memory materials and its comparison. The eCE can be characterized by the adiabatic …

Among the various emerging proposals in the scientific literature, the class of solid-state
refrigeration techniques based on the caloric effect is particularly important. In caloric …
