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 heat-resistant titanium dioxide scaffold makes it possible to nanoimprint reconfigurable phase-change metasurfaces over ...

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 ...

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 ...

Solar thermal fuels, or STFs, can transform solar energy into chemical energy that can be stored for a long period and released as thermal energy when required, utilizing certain triggers. STFs show ...
