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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Researchers from Chiba University in Japan have designed a heat pump system that integrates photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) energy with chemical storing involving an exothermic reaction that releases ...

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