Sense and Nonsense Of interest to???????????? Mostly stolen from other truly clever people. 1984 was not imposed upon us by the Government, we opted in!
Phase-change materials that freeze at around room temperature could revolutionise energy storage, cooling things that are too hot and warming them later on
THE sun has risen, and a brand new building on the University of Washington's campus in Seattle is about to melt.
It is no design flaw: encapsulated within the walls and ceiling panels is a gel that solidifies at night and melts with the warmth of the day. Known as a phase change material (PCM), the gel will help reduce the amount of energy needed to cool office space in the building - scheduled to house the molecular engineering department when completed this month - by a whopping 98 per cent.
