Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: (1) worldwide economic, political, and capital markets conditions and other factors beyond the Company's control, including natural and other disasters or climate change affecting the operations of the Company or its customers and suppliers; (2) the Company's credit ratings and its cost of capital; (3) competitive conditions and customer preferences; (4) foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuations in those rates; (5) the timing and market acceptance of new product offerings; (6) the availability and cost of purchased components, compounds, raw materials and energy (including oil and natural gas and their derivatives) due to shortages, increased demand or supply interruptions (including those caused by natural and other disasters and other events); (7) the impact of acquisitions, strategic alliances, divestitures, and other unusual events resulting from portfolio management actions and other evolving business strategies, and possible organizational restructuring; (8) generating fewer productivity improvements than estimated; (9) unanticipated problems or delays with the phased implementation of a global enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, or security breaches and other disruptions to the Company's information technology infrastructure; (10) financial market risks that may affect the Company's funding obligations under defined benefit pension and postretirement plans; and (11) legal proceedings, including significant developments that could occur in the legal and regulatory proceedings described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2017, and any subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10 - Q (the «Reports»).

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.

Using a new technique, Van Heumen and McLeod are now able to visualise the changes taking place in the material during such a phase transition on the nanometer scale.

The technique, a new development — different from Zewail's Nobel Prize - winning work in femtochemistry, the visual study of chemical processes occurring at femtosecond scales — allowed researchers to observe directly the transitioning atomic configuration of a prototypical phase - change material, germanium telluride (GeTe), when it is hit by a femtosecond laser pulse.

Using ultrafast 4 - D imaging, the new UEC technique allows researchers to «film» the atomic mechanism behind the recording process in memories based on phase change materials.

Finding ways to speed up the recording process of phase - change materials and understanding the limits to this speed could lead to a new type of memory that harnesses the best of both worlds.

In the new work, IBM's Evangelos Eleftheriou and colleagues demonstrate a potentially simpler system that uses a phase - change material to play the part of a neuron's membrane potential.

Using a proprietary blend of encapsulated phase change materials and combining it with new graphite infusion and ventilation provides an exceptionally comfortable and cool memory foam pillow through pillow science.

Oxford University researchers developed new technology based on phase - change materials (similar to ones used in re-writable DVDs) that can be used to create non-volatile highly - efficient e-paper displays.
