The work of Dr Xavier Moya has been featured on the University of Cambridge Research News pages.  His work with collaborators in the UK and Spain has identified an eco-friendly solid that could replace the inefficient and polluting gases used in most refrigerators and air conditioners.  This work has been published in the journal Nature Communications.  (P. Lloveras et al. Colossal barocaloric effects near room temperature in plastic crystals of neopentylglycol.Nature Communications (2019). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-09730-9).  Dr Moya is now working with Cambridge Enterprise, the commercialisation arm of the University of Cambridge, to bring this technology to market.
