Magnetic refrigeration is a cooling technology based on the magnetocaloric effect.

Temperatures below that can be reached using magnetic refrigeration.

Magnetic refrigeration has been used in laboratories to cool within a degree above absolute zero.

- Discovered a new class of materials that could make magnetic refrigeration a viable cooling technology for the future.

Gadolinium and its alloys are the best material available today for magnetic refrigeration near room temperature.

Successful demonstration of magnetic refrigeration.

Research is being conducted on magnetic refrigeration near room temperature, which could provide significant efficiency and environmental advantages over conventional refrigeration methods.

Magnetic refrigeration.

He developed a magnetic refrigeration device of his own design in order to achieve this outcome, getting closer to absolute zero than many scientists had thought possible.

Potential applications of SMMs include quantum computing, high-density information storage and magnetic refrigeration."

Magnetocaloric Effect and Magnetic Refrigeration.

- Material for magnetic refrigeration that improves refrigerator efficiency by an estimated 40 percent in large-scale refrigeration units and air conditioners.

Gschneidner stated in 1999 that: "large-scale applications using magnetic refrigeration, such as commercial air conditioning and supermarket refrigeration systems, could be available within 5-10 years.

Magnetic refrigeration was the first method developed for cooling below about 0.3K (a temperature attainable by He refrigeration, that is pumping on the He vapors).

Besides the standard style of compressor refrigeration used in normal household refrigerators and freezers, there are technologies such as absorption refrigeration and magnetic refrigeration.

The IIR holds international conferences on key themes (natural refrigerants, the cold chain, magnetic refrigeration, cryogenics, compressors, phase-change materials and slurries, new technologies.)

Currently, alloys of gadolinium producing 3 - 4 K per tesla [K/T] of change in a magnetic field can be used for magnetic refrigeration.

Advanced Energy Materials is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering energy-related research, including photovoltaics, batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, hydrogen technologies, thermoelectrics, photocatalysis, solar power technologies, magnetic refrigeration, and piezoelectric materials.

Promising future applications include high-performance smart grid, electric power transmission, transformers, power storage devices, electric motors (e.g. for vehicle propulsion, as in vactrains or maglev trains), magnetic levitation devices, fault current limiters, nanoscopic materials such as buckyballs, nanotubes, composite materials and superconducting magnetic refrigeration.
