The new pump has no moving parts. “Instead, it relies on thermoacoustics, the interaction between sound waves and heat, to move thermal energy,” Interesting Engineering writes. The pump uses that ...

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 ...

Current capacitors often require dedicated cooling loops to keep them operating within a safe temperature range. If the ...

When the sun goes down, solar panels stop working. This is the fundamental hurdle of renewable energy: how to save the sun's ...

James Cook University (JCU) research argues Australians urgently need better education about heat to prepare for longer, hotter and more dangerous heat waves driven by climate change.

For 42 years, NASA satellites have tracked how sunlight powers Earth’s climate. The long record is revealing subtle shifts that could reshape climate predictions. These findings are adding new layers ...

Bill Gates-backed startup Antora Energy is preparing to roll out a containerized, modular heat battery, designed to store renewable energy at the lowest possible cost – then release it efficiently as ...

Researchers from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University have looked back to the past for inspiration in potentially offering a life-saving solution we'll need in ...
