TL;DR

Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a new prototype refrigerator that can achieve temperatures close to absolute zero much more quickly and efficiently than current models. This breakthrough could significantly reduce the time and cost associated with quantum computing and other scientific experiments requiring extremely low temperatures. The new design could save 27 million watts of power annually and reduce global energy consumption by $30 million. The technology is expected to benefit both the quantum computing and cryogenics industries.
