Scientists at Stanford University have managed to engineer an air-conditioner which generates power at the same time. Air conditioners and climate change interact in a vicious cycle: as the planet warms, demand for air conditioning increases, thereby driving emissions ever higher. The new device works by employing a process known as radiative cooling, which could potentially make ACs in the future generate and simultaneously save electricity.
Researchers invent air-conditioners that can also generate electricity
