It absorbs excess body heat when you get warm during the night, holds it, and then releases back to your body when you cool ...

A new study that provides unprecedented insights into the chemical bonding of antimony could have a profound impact on ...

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 ...

Self-heating concrete is more resilient to the cycles of freezing and thawing that create potholes and damage roads, said ...

A new study that provides unprecedented insights into the chemical bonding of antimony could have a profound impact on materials research. The collaboration between scientists from Leipzig University, ...

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 integration of nanomaterials in aerospace thermal management improves thermal insulation and barrier coatings, ensuring ...

Researchers saw a chain of atoms in a quantum simulator go from being magnetic to not magnetic at all, the first time such a ...

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 ...

A rewritable optical disc. First used in drives by Panasonic in the late 1980s, the phase change technology was subsequently employed in all major optical drives, including CD-RW, DVD-RW ...

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, ...
