Phase change materials (PCMs) represent a pivotal class of substances that store and release thermal energy through reversible transitions between solid and liquid states. Their ability to absorb or ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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