Data centers—the warehouse-sized buildings that store photos, stream movies and train artificial intelligence—are voracious consumers of electricity. A surprisingly large share of that power never ...

One of the world’s largest steelmakers has deployed a novel heat battery at its plant in India to curb emissions from its ...

How's this for a set of promises? Flint Engineering claims its new, flat, thermal-transfer "IsoMat" can power entire homes, cut refrigerator energy consumption by 30%, and radically speed up EV ...

The new pump has no moving parts. “Instead, it relies on thermoacoustics, the interaction between sound waves and heat, to move thermal energy,” Interesting Engineering writes. The pump uses that ...

Heat batteries quietly solve a major transition gap, storing surplus renewable electricity as heat. Half of global energy demand is for heating, not power. They are simple, scalable, and far cheaper ...

A team of chemists at UC Santa Barbara has developed a liquid compound that absorbs ultraviolet sunlight, locks that energy into its molecular bonds for months, and then releases it as heat on command ...

In many quantum materials—materials with unusual electrical and magnetic properties driven by quantum mechanical effects—electrons can organize themselves into Landau levels. Landau levels are ...

Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) is gaining renewed attention as a reliable, 24/7 clean-energy option for tropical islands, with a pilot project in the Canary Islands showcasing its potential ...

The thermoelectric effect, or Seebeck effect, refers to the direct conversion of a temperature difference between two electrical conductors or semiconductors into an electrical voltage. When the sides ...
