Infrared cameras inform a convolutional neural network that determines the melt-fraction level of phase change materials.

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 toughness, ductility, and wear resistance of metallic alloys are dictated by the phases present in their microstructure and how these phases are distributed. During heat treatments such as ...

As a society, we are able to efficiently harvest renewable forms of energy, such as wind and solar energy. Their use, however, is limited by the lack of an efficient, sustainable and economical ...

Phase change energy storage technology has great potential for enhancing the efficient conversion and storage of energy. While triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structures have shown promise in ...
