Phase change materials (PCMs) represent a pivotal class of substances that store and release thermal energy through reversible transitions between solid and liquid states. Their ability to absorb or ...

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 ...

TGA measures the change in mass of a sample as a function of temperature or time under a controlled atmosphere, revealing the material's thermal stability, decomposition behavior, and potential for ...

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 ...

In a recent study published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, researchers performed an in situ tribomicroscopy to explore the lubrication mechanisms of edible PCM (phase change materials) using ...

Scientists in China have designed a photovoltaic-thermal integrated air-source heat pump hot water system that uses a phase change tank to lower energy consumption and achieve higher power generation ...

Researchers scientists have unlocked a new realm of possibilities for non-volatile phase change memory, a type of electronic memory capable of retaining data even without power. Traditionally, ...

Incorporating a phase-change material into concrete, researchers have created a self-heating material that can melt snow and ice for up to 10 hours without using salt or shovels. The novel material ...
