<ul><li>A team of researchers from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has developed the world’s first kilowatt-scale elastocaloric cooling device.</li><li>The new cooling system uses special materials called shape memory alloys (SMAs) to release or absorb heat, providing an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional air conditioning.</li><li>The system can cool indoor spaces rapidly, reaching a comfortable temperature within 15 minutes even while outdoor temperatures are high.</li><li>With a specific cooling power (SCP) of 12.3 W/g, this zero-emission cooling technology could be a game-changer for the air conditioning industry, offering a greener and more efficient solution.</li></ul>
