programmable materials

Fraunhofer CPM und Fraunhofer ICT/Moritz Walter, Sandra Pappert How the switchable heat storage module works: Targeted activation of the supercooled phase change material (left) makes it possible to release the heat which has been stored in the material over a long period of time with virtually no loss.
