Each is designed to regulate your temperature through the night, but beyond that these technologies work in different ways ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

ZnTe(en)0.5, shows significant structural changes under low pressure, enhancing prospects for phase change memory.

A squishy, layered material that dramatically transforms under pressure could someday help computers store more data with ...

When cholesterol concentration increases, the tilted-chain solid domains first undergo a change to become the untilted but still solid Lβ phase. With a further increase in cholesterol ...

A research group at Technion – Israel Institute of Technology has developed a novel phase-change thermoacoustic heat pump (PTHP) concept for residential and industrial heat pumping.
