Magnetic cooling is a promising technology that has been actively developing over the past decades and serving as an alternative to traditional cooling methods. The paper considers the key research areas, scientific and technical problems and possible solutions, as well as presents a brief overview of the works devoted to the latest research by a number of Russian research teams involved in the development, creation, and study of the physical properties of new magnetocaloric and magnetic materials. These studies are of great fundamental and practical interest for various fields of science, engineering, and new technologies.
