minus-squarexodoh74984@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·3 days agoI searched for “nitinol cooling system” and found articles dating back to 2016 about the same technology at a German university – https://newatlas.com/shape-memory-refrigerant-free/41652 https://newatlas.com/shape-memory-alloy-nitinol-heating-cooling/58837/ Cool tech, but this recent article lacks substance compared to the older ones. Also interesting that the German team claimed 2x better efficiency than a typical heat pump.
