Liquid (usually just-boiled water) at a higher temperature is poured into the high-tech mug which comprises a porcelain shell with a hollow interior designed with a structure similar to honeycomb, made from very thin strips of aluminum or a similarly conductive material.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.gizmag.com/phase-change-cup-coffee/12596/">The ‘honeycomb’ is filled with PCM which is a solid but melts likes wax when heated, turning it into a liquid. The secret is finding a PCM that has a melting temperature of exactly 58°C. As the material melts it absorbs the warmth of the coffee or tea like a sponge, stores it and brings the mug’s contents down to the optimal temperature. Then it slowly releases the stored energy (heat) back into the coffee or tea for a period of 20-30 minutes</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/1462CC6A-396E-4D99-8A88-D2D70B8D855F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
