CICECO SPOTLIGHT: João Amaral - Magnetocaloric Effect: Heating & Cooling

João Amaral, an assistant researcher at CICECO, conducted a double-blind experiment to verify the occurrence of the rotating magnetocaloric effect. This complex phenomenon, involving magnetism and heat exchange, holds the potential to reduce the greenhouse effect and improve mechanical stability, revolutionizing heating and cooling technologies

The idea is to use these technologies for vaccine distribution in remote areas, where transportation can only be done by horse, on foot, and without the use of trucks or other types of vehicles.
