In a sea of energy-guzzling consumer products, the government's EnergyStar sticker is a beacon of light for many energy-conscious consumers.

But even nano-kelvins are not low enough to overcome the entropy (a measure of the disorder in a system) that stands between them and the discovery of exotic states of ultra-cold matter. http://www.physorg.com/news173353018.html Physics Mon, 28 Sep 2009 10:50:02 EST news173353018 Is your refrigerator eating you out of house and home? Chances are, if it's more than 10 years old, it's gulping enough energy to put a serious hurt on your wallet. http://www.physorg.com/news157618529.html Technology Mon, 30 Mar 2009 07:56:01 EST news157618529 While almost everybody knows how Einstein revolutionized physics with his theories of relativity, many people may not know that the great scientist had a domestic side, too. Well, sort of - in 1930, Einstein and his former student Leo Szilard designed a refrigerator that required no electricity and had no moving parts. However, as refrigerator technology became more efficient, Einstein's design was nearly forgotten. http://www.physorg.com/news141581384.html Technology Thu, 25 Sep 2008 17:09:44 EST news141581384
