Aromatic molecules adsorb onto carbon nanotube walls via pi-pi interactions, slowing supercritical water flow and reducing ...

Heating accounts for nearly half of the global energy demand, and two-thirds of that is met by burning fossil fuels like natural gas, oil, and coal. Solar energy is a possible alternative, but while ...

A team of materials scientists has developed a new bio based carbon material that can store thermal energy more efficiently while preventing one of the most persistent problems in phase change ...

Researchers designed a novel heat pump that uses sound waves to move thermal energy, producing additional heat. The team from China produced an unprecedented amount of heat with their system, and ...

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 ...
