Material has hopped on that bandwagon with its just-introduced MK Free Board, “a 100% plant-based cutting board, free of permanent microplastics,” as the brand describe it.

Continuum robots in flexible gastrointestinal endoscopy require transitioning between flexible and rigid states. Phase-change-material-based variable stiffness (VS) methods exhibit a significant ...

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.

Material-like robotic collectives with spatiotemporal control of strength and shape. Science, 2025; 387 (6736): 880 DOI: 10.1126/science.ads7942 ...

In the different states, at the molecular level, the atoms of the material are either neatly arranged as a crystal, or disordered and amorphous. Heat triggers the change between phases, from amorphous ...

An increasingly popular cooling mechanism in mattresses is phase change material (PCM), a substance that absorbs and releases heat to regulate your body temperature. Hot flushes and night sweats ...

Yingming Zhou, Guozhong Wu, Shuwei Wang, Bo Huang, Fengshun Wang, Zemei Wang, Thermal stress performance of glazed units contained phase change material, Energy Exploration & Exploitation, Vol. 39, No ...

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 ...

Using a unique material called indium selenide (In2Se3), researchers say they discovered a technique for lowering the energy requirements of phase-change memory (PCM) — a technology capable of ...

The three elements of Phase 1 already completed are the safe-standing area for students on the east side of the bowl, a state-of-the-art sound system and refurbishment of the historic Rose Bowl sign.

But before anyone can think about growing eelgrass from seed (separate from the wild population) for bio-based building materials, scientists must first restore the staggering loss of eelgrass ...
