Scientists at Tianjin Chengjian University in China have fabricated an experimental photovoltaic device that integrates three different technologies aimed at improving its performance – a phase change ...

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 ...

The toughness, ductility, and wear resistance of metallic alloys are dictated by the phases present in their microstructure and how these phases are distributed. During heat treatments such as ...
