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 ...
Researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara developed a "rechargeable solar battery" that stores sunlight ...
Scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara developed a “liquid solar battery” inspired by DNA that captures ...
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 ...
Molecules that can capture heat could be a useful technology to decarbonise heating.
