Not exact matches

A common approach to thermal storage is to use what is known as a phase change material (PCM), where input heat melts the material and its phase change — from solid to liquid — stores energy.

Instead, the new system uses molecular switches that change shape in response to light; when integrated into the PCM, the phase - change temperature of the hybrid material can be adjusted with light, allowing the thermal energy of the phase change to be maintained even well below the melting point of the original material.

Next, when triggered by another pulse of light, the material resolidifies and gives back the thermal phase - change energy.

The study, «Thermal homeostasis using microstructured phase - change materials,» is published in Optica.
