Researchers at the University of Dayton are working on a refrigerator that can cool without electricity. The project was started by students in UD’s ETHOS program. The solar-thermal adsorptive refrigeration (STAR) system uses inexpensive, non-toxic and environmentally-friendly materials to provide cooling for vaccines.
The research is supported by the STEM Catalyst Initiative which was created to invest in and support faculty and student STEM research at the University of Dayton.
