BioPCM brand phase-change material installed in a ceiling. This is used as a lightweight way to add thermal mass to a building, helping maintain stable comfortable temperatures without the need ...

Phase change material (PCM) stores energy as it undergoes a phase change, most commonly from solid to liquid. ... Neumann, H., Niedermaier, S., et al. (2018) Cycling stability of d-mannitol when used ...

It’s not easy to surprise physicists with a phase change. Yet when Tom White first reviewed the data from a new experiment that used lasers to heat gold, he had to pause and double-check his results.

The material can store about 200 joules per gram, which she says is "very good for any organic phase-change material." And already, "people have shown interest in using this for cooking in rural ...

Phase Change Material (PCM) is a substance that helps regulate your sleep temperature by acting as an in-bed heat reservoir. In mattresses, PCM tends to be in wax or gel form.
