Researchers in Singapore have built a refrigerator that's just three atoms big. This quantum fridge won't keep your drinks cold, but it's cool proof of physics operating at the smallest scales.

Many people know that work on nuclear weapons enabled the development of the first electronic computers. But it’s no less true that the humble refrigerator, in a roundabout way, enabled the ...

We tend to think of Albert Einstein has a highfalutin theoretical physics guru, but the physicist also worked on much more everyday tasks…like developing an energy-efficient refrigerator. Allow ...

In an attempt to improve a design that was potentially dangerous, physicists Leó Szilárd and Albert Einstein patented what has become known as the Einstein refrigerator. In 1922, Swedish engineering ...
