Renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly popular. However, such energy can be wasted if an excess is available when it’s not yet needed. A particularly relevant example is solar power; solar ...

A new heat storage material could help to significantly improve the energy efficiency of buildings. It can be used to store surplus heat and release it back into the environment when needed. Unlike ...

Scientists at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and the University of Leipzig in Germany have developed a new heat-storage material. They claim it improves the energy efficiency of ...

Materials that soak up and release heat as they melt and solidify are used as heating pads in high-performance clothing and to protect food or electronics from temperature changes. These phase change ...

These nanosheets operate using a dual-mode heat storage mechanism, where water molecules are simultaneously absorbed (intercalated) and adsorbed from the atmosphere. (Nanowerk News) Efficiently ...

WASHINGTON, December 14, 2021 -- As the world searches for practical ways to decarbonize our activities and mitigate associated climate change, approaches to alternative energy are hampered by the ...

A team of Engineers from Australia’s Newcastle University have developed and patented a thermal energy storage block, approximately the size of a large brick, which its inventors say is ideal for ...

Essentially, when the material is exposed to enough heat the water molecules stored inside it gain energy and are released to the air around it. This now-dehydrated material effectively stores that ...

A new heat storage material could help to significantly improve the energy efficiency of buildings. Developed by researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and the University of ...
