Many years after he revolutionized the field of physics, Albert Einstein took up a new task: inventing a better refrigerator. The 1930 appliance that he patented in partnership with a former student, ...

Did you know Albert Eistein wanted to make a fridge? Seriously. The greatest brain in modern physics dedicated a lot of time in trying to create a long lasting, energy efficient, environmentally ...

We tend to think of Albert Einstein has a highfalutin theoretical physics guru, but the physicist also worked on much more everyday tasks…like developing an energy-efficient refrigerator. Allow ...

In an attempt to improve a design that was potentially dangerous, physicists Leó Szilárd and Albert Einstein patented what has become known as the Einstein refrigerator. In 1922, Swedish engineering ...

Albert Einstein is perhaps best-known for his theory of relativity. But he and his former student, the Hungarian physicist Leo Szilard, also came up with a design for a fridge – the so-called Einstein ...

Given how large the green bandwagon has become, it's no real shock to see an energy-saving concept from the 1930s being exhumed and investigated further. Scientists at Oxford University have begun to ...

One of Albert Einstein's lesser known achievements is the invention of a household refrigerator. In the 1920s, the gases inside refrigerators were toxic and a crack in an inner seal could lead to ...
