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 ...

The Thermal Systems with Phase Change department specialises in the research and development of energy conversion and thermal energy storage processes for applications in industrial process ...

This capability would facilitate a deeper understanding of the underlying superconducting mechanisms and the material properties. The next step in this work is to optimize the phase-change ...

They used paraffin wax as the phase-change material (PCM), incorporating various levels of aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles. They also developed a prediction model.

Two scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have discovered a new phase of matter while studying a model system of a magnetic material. The phase is a ...
