Parabolic troughs for solar process heat in the low to medium temperature range Concentrated solar thermal energy using parabolic trough collectors offers considerable potential for the provision of ...

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

A team of chemists at UC Santa Barbara has developed a liquid compound that absorbs ultraviolet sunlight, locks that energy into its molecular bonds for months, and then releases it as heat on command ...

Researchers have developed a solar cell system that uses mirrors to concentrate solar energy. In addition to electricity, it produces heat for a plant that will capture carbon from industrial ...

Centrotec acquires interest in solar thermal specialist Industrial Solar, substantially expanding its range in the international growth market for solar process heat. The SDAX-listed company Centrotec ...

Engineers have designed a system that can efficiently produce 'solar thermochemical hydrogen.' It harnesses the sun's heat to split water and generate hydrogen -- a clean fuel that emits no greenhouse ...

The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems is assessing how a solar-powered heat pump system that uses waste heat from a distillery at a low-temperature level could be used to provide district ...

Welcome to our series answering reader questions and concerns about how to cut the utility company cord. I currently use wood to heat my off-grid home but would like to figure out my options for using ...
