A team of materials scientists has developed a new bio based carbon material that can store thermal energy more efficiently ...

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 ...

We're constantly making strides to explore the space around our planet and in our galaxy, but the reality remains that we're not even close to completely knowing Earth itself. Did you know, 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 ...

Advanced thermal energy storage is playing an increasingly important role in improving the performance and reliability of solar energy systems. In this ...

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 ...

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

A recent article in the Journal of Energy Storage investigated the impact of non-linear porosity distributions in copper foam on the thermal performance and melting behavior of palmitic acid, a phase ...

A technical paper titled “Novel nanocomposite-superlattices for low energy and high stability nanoscale phase-change memory” was published by researchers at Stanford University, TSMC, NIST, University ...
