Phase change materials are proving to be a useful tool to store excess energy and recover it later – storing energy not as electricity, but as heat. Let’s take a look at how the technology ...

The concept of phase-change recording is straightforward. An intense laser or current pulse heats and melts the crystalline material, which is subsequently quenched into the amorphous state. To ...

Developed by Stanford Ovshinsky, reknowned for his inventions in memories and solar panels, "phase change RAM" (PRAM, PCRAM) and "chalcogenide RAM" (C-RAM) are other names for phase change memory ...

A new study that provides unprecedented insights into the chemical bonding of antimony could have a profound impact on ...

A rewritable optical disc. First used in drives by Panasonic in the late 1980s, the phase change technology was subsequently employed in all major optical drives, including CD-RW, DVD-RW ...

Phase change materials (PCM) are already used for basic energy storage, in reducing heat losses, increasing heat storage, controlling temperature changes, and controlling spaces' temperature. However, ...

This whitepaper explores the use of two-phase cooling (2PD2C), that uses a different coolant with a low boiling point, ...

Ritesh Agrawal poses with some of the equipment used in studying the new process, which dramatically lowers the energy cost of amorphization, bringing phase-change memory devices closer to ...

Scientists in Iraq have applied two different kinds of phase-change materials to lower the operating temperatures of PV panels. Their experiment showed that beeswax and paraffin wax are ...

(RTTNews) - Beam Global (BEEM), Thursday announced that it has secured a new U.S. patent for its innovative Phase Change Composite spacer product designed for Li-ion battery thermal management.
