Phase change materials (PCMs) represent a pivotal class of substances that store and release thermal energy through reversible transitions between solid and liquid states. Their ability to absorb or ...

The future of insulation and hot water is here with a revolutionary water heater. Heat pumps are among the most energy-efficient solutions for heating and cooling homes and producing hot water. A ...

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 ...

Every summer, our cities burn energy to keep us cool. The same happens in winter with the increasing demand for heating.

PCMs are materials that absorb and release thermal energy through changes in their physical state. They can be categorized as liquid-gas, solid-solid, solid-gas, and solid-liquid, depending on their ...

Many Australian homes are like an oven in summer and a fridge in winter. New ‘smart materials’ are being developed to make ...

We're constantly making strides to explore the space around our planet and in our galaxy, but the reality remains that we're not even close to completely knowing Earth itself. Did you know, for ...

Climate change is driving more frequent and prolonged extreme heatwaves and our homes are struggling to keep up. Alarmingly, many Australian houses e ...
