Trimodal thermal energy storage material for renewable energy applications.
Nature

School of Chemistry, Monash University, Clayton, Victoria, Australia.
The global aim to move away from fossil fuels requires efficient, inexpensive and sustainable energy storage to fully use renewable energy sources. Thermal energy storage materials in combination with a Carnot battery could revolutionize the energy storage sector. However, a lack of stable, inexpensive and energy-dense thermal energy storage materials impedes the advancement of this technology.

Various parasites alter their intermediate host's phenotype in ways that increase parasite transmission to definitive hosts. To what extent infected intermediate hosts can recover from such "manipulation" is poorly documented, thus limiting our understanding of its proximate and ultimate causes. Here, we address the reversibility of several phenotypic alterations induced by the acanthocephalan , a trophically-transmitted bird parasite, in its amphipod intermediate host.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effects of anisotropy on a system of three qubits using the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg XXX model in a magnetic field, focusing on Stirling and Otto cycles.
- Results show that easy-axis anisotropy boosts engine efficiency, with the ring topology outperforming the chain at low temperatures in the Stirling cycle.
- The Stirling cycle achieves Carnot efficiency with useful work at quantum critical points, while the quasistatic Otto cycle reaches Carnot efficiency but doesn't produce useful work, and the Stirling cycle operates across various thermal regimes compared to the Otto cycle.

Increase in energy demand is shaping both developed and developing countries globally. As a result, the endeavour to reduce carbon emissions also encompasses electrical energy storage systems to ensure environmentally friendly power production and distribution. Currently, the scientific community is actively exploring and developing new storage technologies for this purpose.

We have developed a computer code for the thermodynamic hierarchical equations of motion derived from a spin subsystem coupled to multiple Drude baths at different temperatures, which are connected to or disconnected from the subsystem as a function of time. The code can simulate the reduced dynamics of the subsystem under isothermal, isentropic, thermostatic, and entropic conditions. The extensive and intensive thermodynamic variables are calculated as physical observables, and Gibbs and Helmholtz energies are evaluated as intensive and extensive work.
