Researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara report a liquid-phase molecular solar-thermal (MOST) system that ...

German researchers investigate molecular solar thermal energy storage A four-year research project by several German universities is exploring the release of molecules involved in molecular solar ...

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 ...

Researchers in Australia are working on a way to lower the cost of producing solar thermal energy by as much as 40% with the help of shatterproof rear-view mirrors originally designed for cars. That ...

Heating accounts for nearly half of the global energy demand, and two-thirds of that is met by burning fossil fuels like natural gas, oil, and coal. Solar energy is a possible alternative, but while ...

Thermal energy storage is pretty great, as phase-change energy storage is very consistent with its energy output over time, ...

New experiments by swiss researchers have show that industrial-relevant temperatures of 1,050°C can be generated from solar concentrators. Solar power for industrial heat would be able to decarbonize ...

Approximately 50 percent of global final energy consumption is dedicated to heating. Yet, the utilization of solar power in this sector remains relatively low compared to fossil energy sources. An ...

The Chinese manufacturer has unveiled a hybrid photovoltaic–geothermal heat pump system that uses solar electricity to directly power the unit, boosting efficiency and self-consumption. The 8–112 kW ...

Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity that you can use in your home. Silicon cells in each panel absorb photons from ...
