A new way to store thermal energy
Original story at MIT News In large parts of the developing world, people have abundant heat from the sun during the day, but most cooking takes place later in the evening when the sun is down, using fuel — such as wood, brush or dung — that is collected with significant time and effort. Now, a new chemical composite developed by researchers at MIT could provide an alternative. It ...

Entropy Solutions develops shape-stabilized versions of 2 PureTemp PCMs
Entropy Solutions has developed shape-stabilized versions of two of its PureTemp biobased phase change materials. These gelled PCMs maintain their shape even as the PCM cycles between solid and liquid form, absorbing, storing and releasing thermal energy as needed in temperature-control applications. Potential uses include building materials, underfloor electric heating systems and shipping ...
