In this episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast, Paul Motzki of Germany’s University of Saarland explains how artificial muscles have been used to create a new and environmentally friendly refrigeration technology.
Also this week, Physics World editors chat about a breakthrough in the study of the promising semiconductor cubic boron arsenide, a new technique that can reveal hidden consciousness in brain-injured patients, and a scary study about rocket stages that fall from the sky.
