Caloric effects in ferroic materials. The worldwide energy usage for cooling by refrigerators and air conditioners is substantial. This issue of MRS Bulletin introduces ongoing developments in ferroic-caloric materials and their applications to cooling devices, including those beyond refrigeration such as magnetocaloric materials being explored for hyperthermia therapy. The cover shows a color-coded infrared thermograph obtained during elastocaloric cooling. The image documents temperature changes in the elastocaloric NiTi ribbon subjected to mechanical cycling between two Cu blocks. A significant temperature difference between the two blocks is established after a few elastocaloric cycles. Image courtesy of Marvin Schmidt. See the technical theme that begins on p. 264.
