In labs focused on clean energy, a quiet shift is underway. Instead of treating carbon dioxide as a dead-end waste gas, ...

Researchers in Japan have developed a new photocatalyst that can use a much broader range of sunlight to produce hydrogen, ...

A research team from Swiss research institute ETH Zurich has developed a novel thermal trap technology that can absorb concentrated sunlight and deliver heat at over 1,000 C. The thermal trap system ...

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 ...

Wildfire smoke is no longer just a short‑lived air quality problem drifting over cities for a few hazy days. New research shows that when these plumes rise high into the atmosphere, they can spawn ...

The sun can provide limitless heat for buildings and industrial processes. But using that heat on demand means capturing and storing solar thermal energy for when the sun isn’t shining. Researchers ...

Bifacial solar panels are a rapidly growing technology that has piqued the interest of many renewable energy enthusiasts. While traditional solar panels can only capture sunlight with one sky-facing ...

(CBS DETROIT) - Every day, the sun's radiation is scattered. Some sunlight is absorbed, and some is reflected back into the atmosphere. This is a measure of the reflectivity of a surface, which can be ...

A novel dye-sensitized photocatalyst developed at Science Tokyo enables the capture of long-wavelength visible light for efficient hydrogen conversion, surpassing conventional photocatalysts.
