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 ...

When the days shorten and the sun sinks low in the sky, that familiar winter slump sets in. There's a fundamental reason for this seasonal fatigue: low levels of vitamin D—the "sunshine vitamin." ...

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 ...

Though the sun produces more energy than we would ever need on Earth, current ...

Concentrated solar power (CSP) is a growing form of clean energy that currently produces about 3.5 gigawatts worth of power across the world, enough to power two million homes. This alternate form of ...

(CBS DETROIT) - Every day, the sun's radiation is scattered. Some sunlight is absorbed, and some is reflected back into the atmosphere. This is a measure of the reflectivity of a surface, which can be ...
