Nano-engineered thermoelectrics enable scalable, compressor-free cooling

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, have developed a new, easily manufacturable solid-state thermoelectric refrigeration technology with nano-engineered materials that is twice as efficient as devices made with commercially available bulk thermoelectric materials. As global demand grows for more energy-efficient, reliable and compact cooling solutions, this advancement offers a scalable alternative to traditional compressor-based refrigeration.

My AC system isn't blowing cold air - 5 easy and quick fixes that experts recommend

fhm/Getty Images It always happens during a heatwave. That moment of sinking dread when your AC unit kicks on, but instead of a refreshing blast of arctic air, you're met with a weak, lukewarm breeze. Then panic sets in. Is the AC dead? Is this going to cost a fortune? How will I get to sleep tonight in this stifling heat and humidity? While a truly broken AC unit can indeed be a headache and an expense, the good news is that it's not always a catastrophic failure. The reason your system isn't

Lamborghini catapults into the electrified supercar age with the Revuelto

We are effectively living in a post-horsepower world. As the roster of production cars offering quadruple-digit output figures continues to expand and a growing number of garden-variety vehicles now offer straight-line acceleration that would have been exclusively supercar territory a decade ago, serious thrust is quickly becoming an expectation rather than a rarefied experience. This trend might seem like an existential dilemma for an automaker with a legacy built on face-melting performance,
