Heating and cooling systems are some of the biggest energy guzzlers in use, so passive temperature control could be a good way to reduce emissions. Phase-change materials (PCMs) show promise for this, ...

Researchers at the University of Texas have developed a wood-based material that regulates building ...

What are Phase Change Materials? Materials display different properties in each state of matter (solid, gas, liquid, and plasma) which can be manipulated for a multitude of purposes. A phase change is ...

Shape shifters have long been the stuff of speculative fiction, but researchers in China have developed a magnetoactive phase transitional matter (MPTM) that makes Odo slipping through an air vent ...

Changing climate patterns have left millions of people vulnerable to weather extremes. As temperature fluctuations become more commonplace around the world, conventional power-guzzling cooling and ...

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 ...

The latest report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) directly relates the increased intensity and frequency of extreme weather events, such as heatwaves, heavy ...

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 ...

Fabral is a leader in the metal cladding industry for residential, commercial, and agricultural applications. Fabral's Phase Change Material is an optimal insulation solution, that easily integrates ...
