This latent heat can store a significant amount of energy in a material over a relatively small temperature change. This latent heat exists in solid-to-liquid phase changes as well, where it’s ...

An exotic state of matter has been found lurking within a previous exotic state which had discovered in a magnetic compound ...

A rewritable optical disc. First used in drives by Panasonic in the late 1980s, the phase change technology was subsequently employed in all major optical drives, including CD-RW, DVD-RW ...

Phase change cooling creates subzero temperatures as low as -100 degrees Centigrade, but the humidity created by condensation is a side effect that has to be dealt with. Phase change cooling has ...

This revealed how the material's vibrations change near its phase transition temperature and, with that, its magnetic ...
