Around 90% of the world’s energy use is linked to the generation or manipulation of thermal energy (heat). This typically involves fossil fuels, such as coal, oil or gas, which are some of the major ...

Nuclear power is increasingly seen as the next-generation source to support the energy demands of computing and AI infrastructure while boosting energy independence and decarbonizing at scale - and ...

A four-year research project by several German universities is exploring the release of molecules involved in molecular solar thermal (MOST) energy storage. They plan to modify the molecules to ...

Storage of hydrogen is a critical enabler for the growth of hydrogen and fuel cell systems in sectors such as stationary power generation, power transmission, and mobility. Hydrogen has the greatest ...

The Japanese conglomerate and the Osaka Metropolitan University are testing an aquifer thermal energy storage system that directly uses 10,000 m3 of groundwater stored at 5 C in a cooling well. It is ...

Liquid metal-activated boron nitride flakes for electromagnetic wave absorption and thermal management. The mechanochemical modification creates abundant interfacial polarization centers for efficient ...

A recent article in the Journal of Energy Storage investigated the impact of non-linear porosity distributions in copper foam on the thermal performance and melting behavior of palmitic acid, a phase ...

Researchers developed a solar collector with a dielectric Bragg mirror, optimizing energy conversion by separating sunlight ...
