In labs focused on clean energy, a quiet shift is underway. Instead of treating carbon dioxide as a dead-end waste gas, ...

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 ...

Wildfire smoke is no longer just a short‑lived air quality problem drifting over cities for a few hazy days. New research shows that when these plumes rise high into the atmosphere, they can spawn ...

The sun can provide limitless heat for buildings and industrial processes. But using that heat on demand means capturing and storing solar thermal energy for when the sun isn’t shining. Researchers ...

Bifacial solar panels are a rapidly growing technology that has piqued the interest of many renewable energy enthusiasts. While traditional solar panels can only capture sunlight with one sky-facing ...

Solar panel and biorefinery designers could learn a thing or two from iridescent giant clams living near tropical coral reefs, according to a new Yale-led study. This is because giant clams have ...

A novel dye-sensitized photocatalyst developed at Science Tokyo enables the capture of long-wavelength visible light for efficient hydrogen conversion, surpassing conventional photocatalysts.

Solar power is the cleanest and most abundant form of renewable energy, with significant consumer adoption across the U.S. in recent years. Roughly 3.2 million homes in the country have solar panels ...
