Abstract The integration of phase change materials (PCM) into architectural elements is an emerging strategy to enhance thermal energy storage in modern buildings. This research examines 3D-printed polylactic acid structures incorporated with microencapsulated PCM, targeting a more efficient thermoregulation in…

TETI 2.0: Understanding nuclear fuel behavior at the atomic level
Researchers are getting a closer look at the behavior of nuclear fuel at the atomic level with the Center for Thermal Energy Transport under Irradiation (TETI) 2.0 technology.
Improving the properties of sweeteners for enhanced thermal energy storage
As we seek more efficient utilization of waste thermal energy, use of “phase change materials (PCMs)” is a good option. PCMs have a large latent heat capacity and the ability to store-and-release heat as they change from one state of matter to another.
A FORCE to be reckoned with: Computer modeling for optimal energy partnerships
Integrating nuclear power into broader energy systems, including renewable energy sources and heat-intensive industries, could improve flexibility and unlock revenue streams for nuclear power producers.
Seven entrepreneurs join Innovation Crossroads seventh cohort
Seven entrepreneurs will embark on a two-year fellowship as the seventh cohort of Innovation Crossroads kicks off this month at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Representing a range of transformative energy technologies, Cohort 7 is a diverse class of innovators with promising new companies.
Radar measurements can vastly improve a key technology for the energy and process industries
Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have developed a high-frequency radar technique that can measure exactly what is happening inside a fluidized bed with unrivalled precision.
Researchers: Energy-efficient construction materials work better in colder climates
The researchers from Lithuania and Cyprus claim that the energy payback period of using phase change materials, new technology in the construction industry, is the shortest in a colder climate.
