Abstract

Abstract : Cool Review : Innovative elastocaloric cooling systems have the potential to meet the rising demand for efficient cooling and temperature control on the miniature scale, such as in microelectronic devices and lab‐on‐a‐chip systems. This Review covers fundamentals on the operation and scaling of elastocaloric cooling devices as well as current developments of elastocaloric films and engineering of corresponding devices. This cover artwork reflects this field as a whole, including fundamentals of caloric cooling, material science, and device engineering. More details can be found in the Review by Florian Bruederlin et al. onpage 1588 in Issue 8, 2018 (10.1002/ente.201800137 ).
