The increasing congestion of electronic devices and the need for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding demand new materials that can perform multiple functions simultaneously. However, ...

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 ...

Phase change materials (PCMs) and thin films occupy a prominent place in advanced materials research due to their unique ability to reversibly alter their structure and properties under external ...

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 ...
