Refrigerators are wasteful heat removers. They rely on refrigerant flowing through coils, absorbing and expelling heat — a very inefficient process that makes them one of the biggest energy-sucking appliances in most homes. But scientists are exploring ways to eliminate the need for refrigerant, using quantum materials to pump away heat with magnetism. (Quantum....mmmmn).
