Purely conductive simulations of heating in a phase-change material (PCM) via sets of four heat-transfer fins in two different configurations. As time progresses, "interference" creates overlapping ...

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 ...

A compact thermal polarization modulator using phase-change material, offering a non-mechanical approach to increase optical ...

Phase transformations—in which a material changes from one crystal structure to another, thereby acquiring dramatically different properties—are ubiquitous in nature. Understanding the microscopic ...

Researchers have found a way to speed up components that control light polarization in optical communication and computing. Polarization is a property of light that can carry additional information ...

As a result, pumped two-phase cooling is evolving from a promising lab concept into a practical technology being deployed at ...
