Researchers have developed a new type of solar power system that can produce both electricity and heat at the same time—an innovation that could help industries capture carbon dioxide (CO₂) from their ...

WINDHAM, ME - JANUARY 19: Matt Johnson, 38, an HVAC technician with ReVision Energy, a New England company specializing in solar energy and electric heat pump installations, works on removing all ...

To store heat for days, weeks, or months, you need to trap the energy in the bonds of a molecule that can later release heat on demand. The approach to this particular chemistry problem is called ...

Scientists in India have built a solar-powered thermic solar geyser prototype based on a nichrome wire heating rod and a flexible pipe heat exchanger with aluminum fins. The system is designed to ...

A team of chemists at UC Santa Barbara has developed a liquid compound that absorbs ultraviolet sunlight, locks that energy into its molecular bonds for months, and then releases it as heat on command ...

Researchers from China have proposed to combine solar-air source heat pumps (SASHP) with sand-based thermal floor storage in rural clean heating renovation projects. “In rural areas where economic ...

This October, renewable energy generation globally surpassed coal for the first time on record. Solar energy has played a major hand here. In the US alone, 84% of all new electricity generation ...

A record-breaking heat dome over the central United States is sending temperatures – and cooling bills! – soaring into triple digit territory. Luckily, there’s a readily available technology that can ...

When the sun goes down, solar panels stop working. This is the fundamental hurdle of renewable energy: how to save the sun's power for a rainy day—or a cold night. Chemists at UC Santa Barbara have ...
