“The better researchers understand what happens to sunlight when it hits Earth, the better they can estimate its effects on climate. Part of this means creating reliable models of what happens when ...

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 ...

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 ...

Switch to solar with a system built for you. Bifacial solar panels are a rapidly growing technology that pique the interest of many renewable energy enthusiasts. While traditional solar panels can ...

Severe fine dust pollution over Seoul and Mexico City, being composed of the same type of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5), exhibits markedly different characteristics. Seoul's air tends to reflect ...
