Shape shifters have long been the stuff of speculative fiction, but researchers in China have developed a magnetoactive phase transitional matter (MPTM) that makes Odo slipping through an air vent ...

Explore the future of insulation and hot water with a revolutionary water heater. Heat pumps are one of the most ...

Phase-change materials are substances that absorb or release significant latent heat during their phase transitions, typically between solid and liquid states. This characteristic makes them highly ...

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 ...

Australia is getting hotter. Climate change is driving more frequent and prolonged extreme heat waves and our homes are ...

Heating and cooling systems are among the biggest guzzlers of energy, contributing to a vicious cycle of climate change that then drives higher use of heating and cooling. Now engineers at Berkeley ...

A research team headed by Prof. Quan Shi from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has suggested a novel concept of “Spatiotemporal Phase Change ...

PCMs are materials that absorb and release thermal energy through changes in their physical state. They can be categorized as liquid-gas, solid-solid, solid-gas, and solid-liquid, depending on their ...

The benefits of thermal interface materials. Comparing FR-4 laminate with insulated metal substrate (IMS) PCB. How phase-change TIMs may prove to be the best solution. One of the most important—and ...
