There’s a patch of concrete on Drexel University’s campus that could portend a frost-free future for sidewalks and highways in the Northeast. Tucked inconspicuously next to a parking lot for the ...

Incorporating a phase-change material into concrete, researchers have created a self-heating material that can melt snow and ice for up to 10 hours without using salt or shovels. The novel material ...

Infrared cameras inform a convolutional neural network that determines the melt-fraction level of phase change materials.

Researchers at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia have fabricated a photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) system that uses a cooling nanofluid circulation system with a phase change material (PCM). The system can ...

Researchers from Bangladesh and Australia have explored hybrid nano-phase change materials (HNPCMs) for PVT applications. They used paraffin wax as the phase-change material (PCM), incorporating ...
