The design and demonstration of solar-thermal chemical reactors is a key core competency of the lab, which is one of the only such locations for this expertise in the world. Copernican Energy was spun ...

The difference between the energy needed to break bonds, and the energy released when new bonds form, determines the type of reaction. A reaction is: The energy level increases in an endothermic ...

When the free electrons absorb heat energy, they gain kinetic energy and move much faster. As they move through the metal, they crash into the metal ions. Some of their kinetic energy is absorbed ...

In this way, the device allows both the generation of electricity and the storage of chemical energy. The new device ...

Combustion engines only use a quarter of the fuel’s potential energy while the rest is lost as heat through exhaust. Now, a ...

The food coloring in the hot water will move around and mix more and become more green than the food coloring in the cold water. Heat is a form of energy. The heat energy from the water makes the ...

Finally, research has also focused on the effects of chemical energy accommodation on heat transfer to catalytic walls. This study emphasizes the importance of accurately modeling the energy ...

BarcelonaTech (UPC) in Spain have designed hybrid solar cells that can generate electricity and store it onboard. This is the ...
