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 ...

In a recent article published in the Journal of Energy Storage, researchers investigated the effects of non-linear porosity ...

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 ...

The use of phase-change materials (PCMs) for thermal control is not new; consider the use of the icebox to store perishable foods before the development of efficient, inexpensive, active refrigeration ...

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, ...
