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 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 ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory discovered a new phase a matter called “half-ice, half-fire.” This elemental moniker is a reference to the ordered ...

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 ...

A team of Lehigh University researchers has successfully predicted abnormal grain growth in simulated polycrystalline ...

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 ...

It’s infused with copper, a common cooling agent intended to draw heat away from the body, and its cover contains phase-change material, which, in my experience, is one of the most effective ...

Forget Roomba. How About A Robot That Warms And Cools Your House? With the help of built-in sensors and phase change material, of course.

The metafilm is based on the phase change material GST and metal Mo. For the optical properties of GST change dramatically in different states, the infrared radiation characteristics of the target ...

a phase change material (PCM). The study used the enthalpy-porosity approach and a local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE) model to analyze positive and negative porosity gradients in the x and y ...

Phase change materials (PCM) are already used for basic energy storage, in reducing heat losses, increasing heat storage, controlling temperature changes, and controlling spaces' temperature. However, ...
