While double-glazed windows do help save energy, Singaporean scientists have tweaked the concept to make it even more effective. Instead of leaving an air gap between the two panes of glass, the ...

A global scientific team has designed a novel multigeneration system based on renewable energy and liquid air energy storage, then used soft computing techniques to optimize its operation. The ...

Researchers have demonstrated efficient solar energy storage in a chemical liquid. The stored energy can be transported and then released as heat whenever needed, they say. Researchers at Chalmers ...

A group of scientists from the Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, in Saudi Arabia, has assessed the performance of several cooling techniques in solar PV systems subject to the country's harsh ...

Solar water heaters can be expensive, but they can get you a tax credit and help you save money on energy. Chi Odogwu is a digital consultant, professor, and writer with over a decade of experience in ...

The government will include heat batteries in its expanded Boiler Upgrade Scheme in an effort to increase the rate of ...

Solar heat collectors can provide heat for a range of users – homes, offices, industrial processes – and to power cooling systems. Heat can also be stored for later use, while hybrid PVT systems offer ...

The sun gives life to plants and microorganisms, provides us with warmth and daylight, and is an endless source of renewable energy. By all accounts, solar energy should be our first choice for ...

A ceramic pump can handle the heat; careful engineering prevents it from cracking. Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Stanford, and Purdue University have built a ceramic mechanical ...
