What is it about?
By utilizing caloric effects of antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic transitions at low temperatures, an efficient cooling technology down to cryogenic temperature (20 K or -253 degree Celsius; target for liquefied hydrogen storage) is attained.

Why is it important?
Magnetic cooling temperature range is tunable by adjusting the materials’ composition with different magnetic transition point (Curie temperature). The 20 K refrigerator finds potential application for liquefied hydrogen storage that can contribute to green energy technology.
