University of Texas at Dallas researchers and their collaborators have developed and patented a wood-based material that can store and discharge heat to help make building temperatures more ...

Materials research relies on intuition-driven exploration, where chemists and engineers tweak tiny elements in compositions or processes and then wait to see the result. This approach is powerful - ...

Scientists have shown that it may be possible to transform materials simply by triggering internal quantum ripples rather than blasting them with intense light. Imagine being able to change what a ...

Experts on building materials in the United Kingdom have been tinkering with a concrete clinker alternative with promising results. The 15-month study included funding and expertise from a group of ...

Phase change materials (PCM) offer high energy density for thermal energy storage (TES), but the power density of PCM-TES devices is often limited by the low heat transfer rate in PCM. A promising ...

A team of engineers in Australia has unveiled a game-changing building material that could drastically lower construction costs — and pollution — worldwide. Cement and concrete production account for ...
