A research team led by Prof. Li Bing from the Institute of Metal Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with collaborators, has overcome a longstanding bottleneck in refrigeration technology. Their findings, published in Nature on January 22, introduce a novel cooling method based on the “dissolution barocaloric effect,” which offers a promising zero-carbon alternative to traditional refrigeration.
