The Cambridge team envisions a new type of refrigerator using the Magneto-Caloric Effect that could be up to 40% more efficient than conventional refrigerators. Although this effect has been known for 120 years, this new alloy is particularly attractive in that it works at room temperature, is less expensive than other materials exhibiting a MCE and does not contain toxic chemicals like arsenic. According to Sandeman, it can also be tuned to work over a wide range of temperatures.

I thought they were chunks of protomatter left over from the rapid expansion of the universe following the Big Bang and were only discovered. Seriously, does anyone actually buy corndogs? Don't they just sort of appear in your freezer?
Useless fact about tng's life #2,037,492: I ate a corndog for the first time in like 25 years last week. I enjoyed it very much but think I can wait another 25 years for the next one.
