A special phase change material, CaCl2.6H2O–Fe3Cl2.6H2O eutectic, could be used for temperature regulation and the passive cooling of PV panels, according to a group of Indian researchers. Phase ...

Researchers at Sohag University in Egypt have developed a passive cooling system for solar panels that uses a PCM known as paraffin wax RT-42. PCMs can absorb, store and release large amounts of ...

Renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly popular. However, such energy can be wasted if an excess is available when it’s not yet needed. A particularly relevant example is solar power; solar ...

What are Phase Change Materials? Materials display different properties in each state of matter (solid, gas, liquid, and plasma) which can be manipulated for a multitude of purposes. A phase change is ...

The latest report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) directly relates the increased intensity and frequency of extreme weather events, such as heatwaves, heavy ...

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in the development of non-volatile phase change memory−−a type of electronic memory that can store data even when the power is turned off−−in a material that ...

Researchers scientists have unlocked a new realm of possibilities for non-volatile phase change memory, a type of electronic memory capable of retaining data even without power. Traditionally, ...
