This image represents a schematic of individual memory bits with carbon nanotube electrodes, in the “on” state. The bit is made up of phase-change material (PCM) and bit dimensions are of the order ...

Scientists in China have designed a photovoltaic-thermal integrated air-source heat pump hot water system that uses a phase change tank to lower energy consumption and achieve higher power generation ...

Scientists have used pressure with a twisting shear to permanently deform silicon, an important material for electronics. The resulting changes in silicon's microstructure produce material phases that ...

In a recent study published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, researchers performed an in situ tribomicroscopy to explore the lubrication mechanisms of edible PCM (phase change materials) using ...

Two memory bits shown in their “off” and “on” states (false color image based on topographic profile from atomic force microscopy). The “off” state shows the carbon nanotube electrodes disconnected.
