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 ...

Less than a decade ago, researchers found a peculiar phase of matter where the electrons of a particular compound would behave in two very distinct phases. Some had spins that were very well organized ...

A team of Harvard researchers working with the quantum computing company Quantinuum announced the creation of a new phase of matter in a research paper last month. Harvard Physics professor Ashvin ...

Heating and cooling systems are some of the biggest energy guzzlers in use, so passive temperature control could be a good way to reduce emissions. Phase-change materials (PCMs) show promise for this, ...
