A layered coating on delignified wood enables solar heat storage and electricity generation without carbonization, while ...

Curved molecules that absorb sunlight, store the energy, and re-release it as heat are pushing the boundaries in solar thermal storage technology. The anthracene systems, derived from a by-product of ...

Ever since Benjamin Franklin’s lightning experiment in the 18th century, civilization has been intrigued by the idea of capturing lightning in a bottle. Over time, however, the idea evolved from ...

A team of materials scientists has developed a new bio based carbon material that can store thermal energy more efficiently while preventing one of the most persistent problems in phase change ...

What if the key to solving some of the world’s most pressing energy challenges lies in a material you’ve never heard of? Imagine a super-alloy capable of storing vast amounts of renewable energy ...

A research team from Penn State has broken a 165-year-old law of thermal radiation with unprecedented strength, setting the stage for more efficient energy harvesting, heat transfer and infrared ...

The Kraftblock team at the site of one of their firm's thermal batteries, installed at a ceramics plant. The battery is the white container connected to the building via the chrome pipes. About half ...

Researchers at Yonsei University have unveiled a breakthrough “thermal sponge” capable of slashing annual cooling energy consumption by 54% and reducing overall cooling demand by 24.3%. The new ...

Heat batteries quietly solve a major transition gap, storing surplus renewable electricity as heat. Half of global energy demand is for heating, not power. They are simple, scalable, and far cheaper ...

The World Meteorological Organization warns Earth’s climate is accelerating into crisis, with record heat, rising seas and ...
