Cool BatMan featured as M-ERA.NET Success Story

The Cool BatMan project has been recognized as a Success Story by M-ERA.NET.

The project aimed to build a fundamental understanding of the dynamic thermal behavior of a compact cooling concept. It combines magnetocaloric materials, exploiting the magnetocaloric effect, with electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) digital microfluidics. The work included advanced microfabrication and new characterization approaches.

A key outcome is the demonstration that digital microfluidics, widely used in bioanalytical lab-on-a-chip systems, also has strong potential for thermal management at the mini- and microscale.

We thank our consortium partners: Jožef Stefan Institute, Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden, and the University of Barcelona. We also thank M-ERA.NET for the recognition.
