Maryland Public Television Highlights UMD Research on Groundbreaking Cooling Technology

Maryland Public Television (MPT) recently interviewed CEEE Director Reinhard Radermacher about a groundbreaking cooling technology that the Center for Environmental Energy Engineering is developing in collaboration with the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE). Elastocaloric cooling takes advantage of a class of compressible metals called shape memory alloys, offering the possibility of efficient cooling with zero global warming impact.
