Microencapsulation of phase-change materials (PCMs) can prevent leakage of PCMs and enhance heat transfer with an increased surface area to volume ratio and thus benefit their pragmatic applications.

Resistance drift in phase change memory (PCM) reduces the accuracy of analog computing applications such as neural network inference. Recently, PCMs based on superlattice (SL) phase change layers have ...

Soft materials capable of controlled shape changes near ambient temperature are of interest for active devices that interact with living organisms. In this study, we achieve such functionalities by ...

Integration of chalcogenide phase-change material (PCM) with photonic circuits offers a practical route of introducing nonvolatile reconfiguration—a long-missing capability in integrated photonics.

Research Reveals Crystal Phase Changes in Unseen Detail The secret to how steel hardens and shape-memory alloys snap into place lies in rapid, atomic-scale shifts that scientists have struggled to ...
