You're most likely to come across Phase Change Material (PCM) and GlacioTex when you're shopping for a cooling mattress, and in some instances luxury cooling bedding, toppers and pillows.

After decades of looking, researchers have seen a string of atoms go through a 1D phase change so elusive that it could only happen inside a quantum simulator. “One motivation [for our ...

A notable innovation in this area is phase change materials (PCM), which possess high energy storage capabilities and are compact and easy to install. These materials act like a heat battery ...

They found that rather than seeing the expected gradual shift as a phase change occurred due to a rise in temperature, there was a sharp drop. They also noted that during the phase change ...

The team believes that intriguing applications could be made in advanced refrigeration technologies, but the sharpness of the phase change could also be used in quantum information technology ...
