Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Decarbonizing the energy sector requires ramping up power ...

Nguyen and her team solved this by designing a version of their molecule that remains liquid at room temperature. It requires ...

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 ...

The rise of artificial intelligence, cloud platforms, and data processing is driving a steady increase in global data center electricity consumption. While running computer servers accounts for the ...

Before the end of last year, the White House named industrial heating and long-duration energy storage (LDES) among a number of “game-changing” technologies that are needed to accelerate the ...

Heat batteries quietly solve a major transition gap, storing surplus renewable electricity as heat. Half of global energy demand is for heating, not power. They are simple, scalable, and far cheaper ...

Thermal energy storage developer Brenmiller Energy has finished commissioning a bGen thermal storage-based co-generation station at the State University of New York (SUNY), Purchase. It is expected to ...

US scientists have looked at how aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) could be used to store wind and solar power, while catering to heating and cooling energy demand during extreme hot or cold ...
