BUSINESS STANDARD Scientists identified green material

CONTEXT:

  • Researchers have identified an eco-friendly solid that could replace the inefficient and polluting gases used in most refrigerators and air conditioners.
  • When put under pressure, plastic crystals of neopentylglycol yield huge cooling effects, and are competitive with conventional coolants.
  • The material is inexpensive, widely available and functions at close to room temperature.
