Phase change materials are proving to be a useful tool to store excess energy and recover it later – storing energy not as electricity, but as heat. Let’s take a look at how the technology ...

The concept of phase-change recording is straightforward. An intense laser or current pulse heats and melts the crystalline material, which is subsequently quenched into the amorphous state. To ...

Central to the study is a hybrid system made of perovskite quantum dots (QDs) and nanostructured antimony telluride (Sb₂Te₃), a phase-change material with unusual optical and electronic properties.

The curious material in which they made this discovery is called Sr3CuIrO6 ... could be made in advanced refrigeration technologies, but the sharpness of the phase change could also be used in quantum ...

Researchers from Bangladesh and Australia have explored hybrid nano-phase change materials (HNPCMs) for PVT applications. They used paraffin wax as the phase-change material (PCM), incorporating ...

The researchers discovered the new phase while studying a one-dimensional model of a type of magnetic material called a ferrimagnet ... ultrasharp phase switching with a giant magnetic entropy ...

An international research team has designed a novel cooling system for PV modules involving a phase change material (PCM), heat sink fins, and water. The experimental system utilizes passive ...

state of an electron under an external magnetic field This discovery could improve quantum information storage by using phase changes as bits. American poet Robert Frost loved to wax poetic ...

Phase change cooling creates subzero temperatures as low as -100 degrees Centigrade, but the humidity created by condensation is a side effect that has to be dealt with. Phase change cooling has ...

The researchers discovered the new phase while studying a one-dimensional model of a type of magnetic material called a ... with a giant magnetic entropy change—offered by "half fire, half ...
