by Jessica Griggs, Phil McKenna and Maggie Koerth-Baker.
from New Scientist, 03/10/2009, Vol. 203 No. 2728, p36-39
"The article features several environmental friendly products from research laboratories and start-ups. Magnetic refrigeration developed by Camfridge subjects metal alloys to a magnetic field, which causes them to cool down. A superconducting wire was developed by American Superconductor that cuts transmission line losses. Flybrid Systems has designed a flywheel that uses carbon fibre and spins at over three times the speed of conventional flywheels. "
