Samsung and Johns Hopkins APL Receive the 2025 R&D 100 Award for Their Innovative Peltier Cooling Technology.

Sure! Here’s the translation to American English:

Samsung Electronics has announced with great excitement that its innovative Peltier cooling technology, developed in collaboration with the Applied Physics Laboratory at Johns Hopkins University, has been awarded in the R&D 100 Awards of 2025. These prestigious awards, which highlight the 100 most innovative technologies worldwide, are considered the “Nobel Prize of Engineering” and the “Oscars of Innovation.”

The Samsung research team, along with scientists from APL, applied advanced nanoscale engineering techniques to enhance the efficiency of Peltier devices by an impressive 75% using new thin-film semiconductor materials. This effort culminated in the development of a high-efficiency Peltier cooler that surpasses the capabilities of traditional vapor compression refrigerators. This breakthrough was published in the journal Nature Communications in May 2025, a publication recognized for its multidisciplinary approach to science.

Joonhyun Lee, Executive Vice President and head of Samsung Research’s Life Solutions team, stated that the recognition received is a testament to the global appreciation of their technology, both in terms of innovation and practical application. “This achievement reinforces our position as leaders in next-generation cooling solutions, and we will continue innovating to create new value across various industries and for society,” emphasized Lee.

The Peltier cooling technology is sustainable and does not use refrigerants, allowing for rapid and precise temperature control. Its applications extend beyond household appliances to sectors such as semiconductors, medical devices, automotive electronics, and data centers.

Samsung Electronics reaffirms its commitment to continue researching and developing technologies that will significantly impact society in the future.
