The heat is on and temperature records keep getting shattered. In June of this year, more than 60 percent of the world population faced extreme heat that was made at least three times more likely by ...

Australia is getting hotter. Climate change is driving more frequent and prolonged extreme heat waves and our homes are ...

A fundamental law of material science could be rewritten by graphene: in simulations and experiment, scientists have shown that graphene’s heart absorption varies with the size of the sample, which ...

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 ...

Essentially, when the material is exposed to enough heat the water molecules stored inside it gain energy and are released to the air around it. This now-dehydrated material effectively stores that ...

A multidisciplinary engineering team at the University of California, San Diego developed a new nanoparticle-based material for concentrating solar power plants designed to absorb and convert to heat ...

A material that simultaneously reflects light and radiates heat at frequencies that vent it through the Earth’s atmosphere could one day help cool buildings on hot days. The material cools itself to a ...

Climate change is driving more frequent and prolonged extreme heatwaves and our homes are struggling to keep up. Alarmingly, many Australian houses e ...

A multidisciplinary engineering team developed a new nanoparticle-based material for concentrating solar power plants designed to absorb and convert to heat more than 90 percent of the sunlight it ...
