Manyetik soğutma
Çalışmalar > Manyetik Soğutucuların Geleceği

Şu an kullandığımız soğutucuların aksine teknolojik gelişimi daha bitmemiş olan manyetik soğutucular, üzerinde çalışmalar yapıldıkça daha verimli bir hale getirilebilecektir. Daha çok bütçe ayrıldıkça malzeme araştırmaları yapan grupların, daha verimli malzemeler bulacağına kesin gözüyle bakılmaktadır. Ayrıca hidrojen gelecekte bir yakıt olarak yerini almakta ve MS ise hidrojen yakıtı üretmekte kullanılabilmektedir. Uygulandığı takdirde, yüksek enerji verimliliği ve düşük çevre kirliliği sağlayacağından dolayı MS, üzerinde araştırma yapılması gereken bir konudur.

In one example, Prof. Karl A. Gschneidner, Jr. unveiled a proof of concept magnetic refrigerator near room temperature in February 20, 1997. He also announced the discovery of the giant MCE (GMCE) in  Gd_{5}Si_{2}Ge_{2} on June 9, 1997 [ölü/kırık bağlantı] (see below). Since then, hundreds of peer-reviewed articles have been written describing materials exhibiting magnetocaloric effects. -->
