A four-year research project by several German universities is exploring the release of molecules involved in molecular solar thermal (MOST) energy storage. They plan to modify the molecules to ...

Beyond the rather low efficiency of today’s solar panels in converting the power of the sun into electricity, the ...

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 ...

Stearic acid is a fatty acid derived from nature. It acts as the phase-change material. When the sun hits the black ...

In close collaboration with researchers from the University of Michigan (USA), physicists in Augsburg have succeeded for the first time in proving experimentally and theoretically that heat transport ...

Swapping a single atom can fine-tune the thermal conductance of single-molecule junctions without affecting their electrical ...
