As we seek more efficient utilization of waste thermal energy, use of “phase change materials (PCMs)” is a good option. PCMs have a large latent heat capacity and the ability to store-and-release heat ...

A South Australian company behind a silicon based thermal energy storage system has created and successfully tested a full prototype of its technology, which it says is ready for commercialisation ...

PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KULR Technology announced today that it will unveil three new, NASA-tested carbon fiber cooling solutions for space and commercial technology. On Wednesday (May 24) ...

Depletion of fossil resources and the climate crisis increase the urgency of work towards sustainable energy sources. Thermal energy storage (TES) systems are of interest for energy efficiency ...

Tested in an off-grid location in India, the proposed approach includes the use of thermal storage from PV modules’ excess heat for space and water heating. The optimum configuration for the system ...

Subsidies of 50% for heat pumps and 30% for solar and storage would free up well over 100 GW of grid capacity at a cost ...

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 ...

A new study published in Scientific Reports explores the use of bio-organic phase change materials (PCMs) to improve the thermal comfort of cotton fabrics. Researchers developed PCM composites using ...
